Norman, Okla. - The Charlotte Touchdown Club and the Football Writers Association of America have announced 36 college football players on the preseason watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Award. Four Oklahoma players are among the 36. The Nagurski Award recognizes the nation's top defensive player.

The four Sooners include FS Brandon Everage, DT Tommie Harris, LB Teddy Lehman and cornerback Derrick Strait.

With four players on the list, OU easily outdistanced the other schools. Four others had two named to the list.

This is the 11th season for the Nagurski Award, which went to Oklahoma's Roy Williams in 2001. Last year's winner was Terrell Suggs from Arizona State.

Five finalists for this year's award will be announced in November and the winner will be announced Dec. 8 at a banquet in Charlotte, N.C.
