Tennessee junior linebacker Jerod Mayo has been named by the Football Writers Association of America to the 2007 Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list.
Mayo, a junior from Hampton, Va., earned second-team All-America honors last year from Rivals.com after finishing among the SEC leaders in both tackles (83) and tackles for loss (12.5). He had double digits in tackles five times in 2006 and was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week after Tennessee wins over California and Alabama.
