Moffitt named to Nagurski watch list

USF senior linebacker Ben Moffitt has been named to the preseason watch list for the Nagurski Trophy, given to the top defensive player in college football.

Moffitt, who has started 30 consecutive games entering the 2007 season, is one of 49 players named on the Nagurski watch list, and one of six from the Big East, along with Pittsburgh defensive end Joe Clermond (Tampa), Rutgers defensive tackle Eric Foster and safety Courtney Greene, Louisville defensive tackle Adrian Grady and Syracuse defensive end Jameel McClain. Only two players from Florida colleges made the watch list, with Moffitt joined by Miami defensive end Calais Campbell.

Moffitt has led the Bulls in tackles in each of the last two seasons, with 112 total tackles as a junior and 96 as a sophomore. He was named to the Nagurski watch list in 2005 as a sophomore after he earned Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week honors for his performance in USF's 45-14 upset of then-No. 9 Louisville.

I saw this yesterday and 4got to post it.

AWESOME news to start off the preseason. Moffiit definately deserves this honor with everything he's done since he arrived. I think his great play will really help with the transistion of having two new OLB's.

And I know some don't think it's worth mentioning that a player is a great person in college football, but what a good young man.

Go BULLS !!!

I seem t orecall snake being on the list until late into the season.  I dont believe moffit has a legitament chance to win the award. I'm not doubting his ability, but unless USF does something big (which I'll admit I've told people Nation Champs this year) he's not going to be a contender.

That being said I wish him the best of luck and will be cheering for him.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
