Penn State's Abdul Carter is nominated for the Nagurski Trophy, while Sal Wormley is on the Outland Trophy watch list.
As college football's watch-list season continues, two more Penn State football players earned recognition. Defensive end Abdul Carter and offensive lineman Sal Wormley landed on two of the top preseason watch lists.
Wormley is nominated for the Outland Trophy, which recognizes the nation's top interior lineman. The sixth-senior returned for his final season as Penn State's most experienced offensive lineman. Wormley has started 26 consecutive games at right guard for the Nittany Lions and will hold down the position this season.
“He'll play both. We have the flexibility to play him at both positions,” Franklin said. “He's one of the unique athletes that was playing linebacker at 250 pounds. You never know how that transition is going to go, playing in space at the linebacker position compared to moving up to the line of scrimmage and having to go against the offensive tackles. He made the adjustment pretty quickly.
