KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Western Michigan offensive linemen, junior
John Keenoy and senior
Chukwuma Okorafor have each been named to the Outland Trophy Watch List, awarded to the top standout linemen in the country.
This is the second preseason honor for Keenoy after also being named to the Rimington Watch List earlier this summer, awarded to the top center in the country. Okorafor's honor is the first for him this year. Previously, he was ranked the No. 4 tackle in the country entering the 2017 season by ESPN's Mel Kiper.
The two linemen led the Broncos to the No. 24 rushing attack in the nation last season. They have started nearly every game each of the last two seasons.
