July 26, 2019 | Football
BOULDER—Junior WR Laviska Shenault Jr. was named to his fourth watch list and twice in as many days Friday as the Walter Camp Football Foundation published its list of players to watch for its National Player of the Year award.Â
Shenault, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound receiver from DeSoto, Texas, is one of 40 players on the list and one of five wide receivers on the list. He has previously been named to the Maxwell Award (nation's top player), Biletnikoff Award (top receiver) and Paul Hornung Award (most versatile player) watch lists. Â
A consensus first-team mideseason All-American last season as a sophomore, he led the nation in receiving, averaging 9.6 receptions per game. He missed three games due to injury, but still finished the season with 86 catches for 1,011 yards and six touchdowns and added 17 rushes for 118 yards and five touchdowns. Â
Of his 103 offensive touches, he was tackled by one player just 24 times and 634 of his receiving yards came after the catch and 346 after contact. Â
The Buffs now have seven players with 14 watch list nods this month. On top of Shenault's four watch list nods, DE Mustafa Johnson (Bednarik Award, Nagurski Trophy), P Alex Kinney (Ray Guy Award) ILB Nate Landman (Bednarik Award, Butkus Award, Nagurski Trophy), C Tim Lynott (Rimington Award), QB Steven Montez (Maxwell Award, Davey O'Brien Award), and OLB Davion Taylor (Butkus Award) have also earned various watch list honors.Â
Friday marked the final day of the National College Football Awards Association announcements on watch lists, which included a total of 16 awards. The Buffs had players on 10 of those 16 award watch lists.Â
