The Outland Trophy is given to the nation’s best interior lineman (offense or defense) each year, the winner being chosen from three finalists from the FWAA All-America Team. Robertson, who has started 34 games for Tennessee and was a key contributor to 2016’s record-breaking offense, is one of 81 players overall and one of 11 from the SEC on the preseason watch list. The watch list is made up of 24 offensive tackles, 21 defensive tackles, 20 centers, and 16 offensive guards.

The watch list will be whittled down to six or seven semifinalists on November 15, and six days later down to the three finalists. The winner will be announced live on ESPN on December 7.
