MAC Reporter Online continues its roundup of college football award watch lists with the Jim Thorpe Award Watch List.
​
The Jim Thorpe Award 2016 watch list includes 39 of the nation’s best defensive backs, representing ten conferences and includes the 2015 winner, Desmond King.
 
The Jim Thorpe Award is one of the most coveted awards in college football. The award was established in 1986 and is named after history’s greatest all-around athlete, Jim Thorpe.  Thorpe excelled not only as a running back, passer, and kicker on the offensive side of the ball, but also stood out as a defensive back. 
 
In addition . . . 

​. . . to his legendary performance on the football field, Thorpe played professional baseball and won Olympic gold medals in the decathlon and pentathlon.
 
The Jim Thorpe Award watch list is chosen by a screening committee who compiles a list of 30-50 players.  The list is not final, and players who have outstanding seasons are added as the season progresses. 
 
The Thorpe Award Winner is selected from three finalists and will be announced at The Home Depot College Football Awards on Thursday, December 8, 2016 on ESPN. The Jim Thorpe Award Banquet will be held on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 in Oklahoma.
