Summer isn't even here yet officially and the 2013 preseason college football "players to watch" lists are already surfacing.
Two Lehigh players -- junior tight end Tyler Coyle and senior linebacker Nigel Muhammad -- have been identified by the College Folotball Performance Awards, according to a Lehigh Sports Information release.
Coyle was one of five Patriot League tight ends named to the watch list, more than any other conference at that position. Last season, Coyle appeared in all 11 games, making four starts.
He finished the year with 10 receptions for 77 yards and three TDs. Coyle caught three passes for 31 yards and his first career touchdown against Bucknell, and scored in each of the last two games for the Mountain Hawks, including an acrobatic 5-yard TD grab grab in the back of the end zone against Lafayette.
Muhammad, a second-team all-Patriot League performer, started all 11 games at outside linebacker last season. He led the team with 10.5 tackles for loss, and was third on the team with 76 tackles, and 5.5 sacks. In a win over Princeton, Muhammad recorded 12 tackles, 4.5 TFL and two sacks. He made 11 tackles and forced a fumble in a win at Central Connecticut State.
College Football Performance Awards, the largest awards organization in Division I college football, selects players exclusively based on objective scientific rankings of the extent to which individual players increase the overall effectiveness of their teams. All players are eligible for awards at their respective positions.
