Another Watch List

I have to say that this is the first time I remember so many of our players being named as guys to watch in their positions. I suppose of late we've been the team of surprise greatness, so people actually recognizing our talent and respecting the program is something of a shock to us. We're not quite sure what that looks like.

But here you go:

Senior Roderick Rogers, the Badgers' returning starter at free safety, was named to the 2006 pre-season watch list for the Jim Thorpe Award. The award is given annually to the top defensive back in the nation. Rogers is also on the watch list for the Lott Trophy, was a second-team All-Big Ten Conference selection last season.
