Release from Football Writers Association of America, which presents the award. I've only posted the overview and mention of UC guys here:
DALLAS (FWAA) – The Football Writers Association of America has announced the preseason watch list for the 2022 Outland Trophy, recognizing 89 returning standout interior linemen representing all 10 Division I FBS conferences and independents. The 2022 season will close with the award's 77th anniversary and the watch list offers a talented field of players to accompany two returning FWAA All-Americans.
Cincinnati, which qualified for the playoff with its standout defense a year ago, has two players on the list but both are on offense. Jake Renfro, a junior center, will guide the Bearcats’ front with senior offensive tackle Dylan O’Quinn on the outside.Cincinnati, which qualified for the playoff with its standout defense a year ago, has two players on the list but both are on offense.
