IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa senior offensive linemen Alaric Jackson and Coy Cronk have been named to the 2020 Outland Trophy Watch List, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) announced Tuesday. The trophy is presented to the nation’s most outstanding interior lineman on offense or defense.

 Iowa is one of only 20 programs to have more than one student-athlete on the 85-player watch list.

 Jackson (6-foot-6, 320-pounds) started at left tackle in all 10 games he played in 2019, earning second-team All-Big Ten honors by Phil Steele and third-team All-Big Ten honors by league coaches and media. He missed three games due to injury.

 Earlier this summer, the Detroit, Michigan, native was named to Iowa’s 2020 Leadership Group, a preseason third-team All-American by Phil Steele, and a preseason first-team All-Big Ten selection by Steele and Athlon Sports.

 Cronk (6-5, 315) joined the Iowa football program during the 2020 spring semester as a graduate transfer from Indiana. A native of Lafayette, Indiana, Cronk started the first four games of last season at left tackle before suffering a season-ending injury. He was a team captain for the Hoosiers and was also named to last season’s Outland Trophy Watch List.

 In Cronk’s first three seasons at Indiana, he started 36 games at left tackle, including 13 his freshman year to set an Indiana true freshman record as an offensive lineman.

 Established in 1946, the Outland Trophy is named after Dr. John H. Outland, who is one of only a few players in college football history to be named an All-American at two positions.

 The recipient of the 75th Outland Trophy will be announced in early December. Four Hawkeyes (Brandon Scherff, 2014; Robert Gallery, 2003; Alex Karras, 1957; Cal Jones, 1955) have won the award. Tristan Wirfs was a semifinalist for the award last season. Only three programs in the nation (Nebraska, Alabama, Oklahoma) have had more than four Outland Trophy recipients.

University of Iowa senior defensive end Chauncey Golston has been named to the 2020 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) announced Tuesday. The trophy is presented to the nation’s defensive player of the year.

 Golston (6-foot-5, 272-pounds), a Detroit, Michigan, native, was one of 98 defensive standouts named to the watch list. The FWAA will also announce a National Defensive Player of the Week each Tuesday during the season.

 It is Golston’s fourth preseason honor of the summer. He was previously named to the Lott IMPACT Trophy preseason Watch List and was a preseason second-team All-Big Ten selection by Athlon Sports and Phil Steele.

 Golston started all 13 games at defensive end in 2019, recording 47 tackles, including 26 solo stops and 21 assists, with 9.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, one interception, five pass break-ups and seven pressures.Golston led the Big Ten and ranked sixth nationally with three fumble recoveries last season.

 He was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection by league coaches and media last season. Golston also earned Iowa’s team hustle award on defense.

 The winner of the 2020 Bronko Nagurski Trophy will be chosen from five finalists. Former Hawkeye linebackers Josey Jewell (2017) and Pat Angerer (2009) were Nagurski Trophy finalists.

Iowa’s adjusted 2020 Big Ten Conference schedule is expected to be announced in the coming weeks. For ticket information visit hawkeyesports.com/tickets.
