We are inching closer and closer to the beginning of the 2015 college football season, and the stakes are high for WKU. With an explosive offense reloaded, a schedule with a few non-conference opponents that we have been licking our chops at, as fans, for potential program-defining wins, 2015 is looking to be bigger and better than ever.
And it isn't just us Hilltoppers who are taking notice. While the joke around journalists is that "everyone in college football gets put on a watch list," it isn't 100% true. It's kind of true - but not the definite truth. But, I digress, and a host of Hilltoppers have been garnered with some nifty preseason accolades. Let's run them all down for you.
