KNOXVILLE -- Tennessee junior defensive back Prentiss Waggner was named to his fourth preseason watch list on Monday. The 2010 national leader in interceptions returned for touchdowns was named to the Jim Thorpe Award Watch List, presented to the nation's best defensive back. Waggner is also a candidate on the Chuck Bednarik Award, Lott IMPACT Trophy and Bronko Nagurski Award watch lists.

Waggner, who earned Associated Press second team All-SEC and Scout.com second team All-America honors in 2010, broke the UT season record for interceptions returned for touchdowns, taking an NCAA FBS-leading three to the end zone.
