The Jim Thorpe Award honors the best defensive back in college football, and of 42 total defensive backs on the 2015 preseason watch list, three SEC players made the cut.

You can view the full watch list here.

Ole Miss’ big-time hitter Tony Conner made the watch list, along with Florida All-American cornerback Vernon Hargreaves. Auburn’s Jonathan Jones also made the cut.

One obvious omission would be Tennessee cornerback Cam Sutton. Sutton may be the SEC’s second best player at his position, and he deserves to be on the preseason watch list. LSU safety Jalen Mills also went unmentioned.
