Jack Wohlabaugh Of Duke Is On The Outland Trophy List

We don’t know if the game on the grid iron will kick-off on time or if we will have a season at all in 2020.

Why? Because of the Corona Virus that is currently effecting us in the United States and around the world.

What we do know is that Jack Wohlabaugh of Duke is on preseason Outland Trophy List which is an award given annually to the nation's most outstanding interior lineman by the Football Writers Association of America

Wohlabaugh has already garnered preseason All-ACC fourth team nods by Athlon Sports this season, while also receiving honorable mention praise from the ACC just a season ago. “according to an article on goduke.com
 
The 6-4, 305-pound Akron, Ohio, product has played in 22 career games with 18 starts and 1,477 total snaps after transferring from Ohio State. Along with his All-ACC honorable mention accolade in 2019, Wohlabaugh also earned Duke's Dan "Tiger" Hill Award as the most outstanding offensive lineman after anchoring an offensive line that ranked fifth in the ACC in sacks allowed and 15th nationally in tackles for loss allowed.“according to an article on goduke.com

 
Last season he helped block for an offense that averaged 329.7 yards per game and 37 total touchdowns, while also paving the way for the Duke offense to register 40+ points in three-straight outings, and in four of five consecutive games.“according to an article on goduke.com

 
The Outland Trophy winner is chosen from three finalists who are a part of the annual FWAA All-America Team. The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the entire membership, selects a 26-man first team and eventually the three Outland finalists. Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner. Only interior linemen on offense or defense are eligible for the award; ends are not eligible.“according to an article on goduke.com

 
The recipient of the 75th Outland Trophy will be announced in early December. The official presentation to the winner will be made in Omaha, Neb., at the Outland Trophy Awards Dinner sponsored by Werner Enterprises and produced by the Greater Omaha Sports Committee, scheduled for Jan. 13, 2021.“according to an article on goduke.com
