Sophomore Budda Baker has been named to the Jim Thorpe Award watch list. The Thorpe Award is presented annually to the nation's top defensive back.

This represents the third watch list Baker has been named to so far. Baker was also named to the Bronko Nagurski and Paul Hornung watch lists.

Bakers is expected to be Washington's best defensive player in 2015 and will also see time as a punt and kick returner.
