GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Junior cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III was named to the 2015 Walter Camp Player of the Year watch list, as announced by the Walter Camp Football Foundation on Friday. Hargreaves is one of 13 players on the watch list that plays on the defensive side of the ball.
Statistically, the Tampa Bay, Fla. native totaled 45 tackles on the season, with two interceptions and an SEC-leading 13 passes broken up, besting his record-setting 11 pass break ups recorded last season, which equaled the most by a true freshman in school history, matching the total Janoris Jenkins had in 2008.
Following the 2014 season, Hargreaves was named a Walter Camp Second Team All-American, making him one of eight other watch list members that previously received Walter Camp All-America honors.
The Walter Camp Player of the Year Award is voted on by the 128 NCAA Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors. The watch list will be narrowed down to 10 semi-finalists in mid-November with the winner being announced on Thursday, December 10 live on ESPN SportsCenter.
