Now, more preseason honors are rolling in for players in the Sunflower State. On Tuesday, one KU player and three Kansas State players were recognized by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA).

For Kansas,  junior cornerback Cobee Bryant is one of 96 defensive players to make the list. He is on the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, which honors the best defender in college football each year.

Also on the Nagurski watch list is Kansas State safety Kobe Savage. Savage was a guest on K-Nation this summer.
