The Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) on Tuesday announced several preseason watch list awards, including the Outland Trophy, which honors the nation’s top interior lineman.
Clemson Tigers offensive lineman Blake Miller and defensive tackle Peter Woods were among the 50 players named to the Outland Trophy preseason watch list, the FWAA announced.
A 6-foot-6, 315-pound product of Strongsville, Ohio, Miller is a three-year starter at offensive tackle for the Tigers. He started all 14 games for the Tigers last season and has played in 41 career games (all starts) while at Clemson.
Woods, a 6-foot-3, 315-pound defensive lineman, enters his junior season at Clemson after playing in 11 games (10 starts) a year ago. He finished with 28 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks and a forced fumble.
In two seasons at Clemson, the five-star prospect out of Thompson High School in Alabaster, Alabama, near Dabo Swinney’s hometown of Pelham has registered 54 tackles (31 solo), 11 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles in 23 career games (12 starts) with the Tigers.
Per a press release:
“The recipient of the 2025 Outland Trophy will be announced on The Home Depot College Football Awards, live on ESPN on Friday, Dec. 12. The official trophy presentation to the winner will be made at the Outland Trophy Awards Dinner sponsored by Werner Enterprises and produced by the Greater Omaha Sports Committee on Jan. 21, 2026 in Omaha, Neb.”
