Trey White Named to Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List

DALLAS -- San Diego State football’s Trey White has been named to the Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) announced Tuesday. White is one of just 11 defensive ends/edge rushers out of the 60 on the preseason list for the Nagurski Trophy, which goes out to the national defensive player of the year.

White was named the Mountain West preseason defensive player of the year at the conference’s media days in Las Vegas earlier this month. White was on the Bednarik Midseason Watch List last year and was a first-team all-MW performer after totaling 60 tackles (40 solo), 18.5 tackles for loss (No. 1 in MW, No. 7 (tied) in FBS), 12.5 sacks (No. 1 in MW, No. 5 (tied) in FBS), two pass breakups and a forced fumble. White’s 12.5 sacks were tied for the third most in SDSU single-season history. White was the first San Diego State defensive lineman to be named the MW preseason defensive player of the year and the fourth defensive player overall, joining cornerback Leon McFadden in 2012, cornerback Damontae Kazee in 2016 and safety Patrick McMorris in 2022.

White has also been named a preseason third-team All-American by Athlon Sports, and has been selected as a first-team all-MW honoree by the league’s media, Phil Steele Magazine, Athlon Sports, Lindy’s Sports and College Football Network. Lindy’s has him as the No. 14 defensive edge in the nation, while CFN has him as the top-ranked player, among other preseason accolades.

The FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club will announce four finalists for the 2025 Bronko Nagurski Trophy in mid-to-late November, and the winner will be revealed at the Bronko Nagurski Awards Banquet on Dec. 8 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
