Bralen Trice has been named to 2023 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List, the Football Writers Association of America announced this morning.
Trice, a 2022 All-Pac-12 First Team and 2023 Preseason All-America First Team selection, returns to the Huskies after starting in 12 games last season and leading the team with nine sacks. He was named Pac-12 Defensive Line Player of the Week following the win at Cal where he tallied five tackles with a pair of sacks. Trice was named the Defensive MVP at the Valero Alamo Bowl after five tackles and a sack against the Longhorns.
The FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club will announce finalists for the 2023 trophy on Nov. 15 and the winner will be unveiled Dec. 4 at the Bronko Nagurski Awards Banquet in Charlotte, N.C.
The FWAA has chosen a National Defensive Player of the Year since 1993. In 1995, the FWAA named the award in honor of the legendary two-way player from the University of Minnesota. Nagurski dominated college football, then became a star for professional football's Chicago Bears in the 1930s. Bronislaw "Bronko" Nagurski is a charter member of both the College Football and Pro Football Halls of Fame.
