August 26, 2026 | Football
STARKVILLE — Mississippi State safety Bralan Womack has been named to the 2026 Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award Watch List, the Maxwell Football Club announced Wednesday.
The prestigious honor recognizes the top freshman player in college football, evaluating candidates based on talent, character, ambassador, and legend attributes.
Womack, a standout true freshman from Brandon, Mississippi, enters his rookie campaign with the Bulldogs following a stellar prep career at Hartfield Academy, where he was rated as a five-star prospect by the 247Sports composite rankings and earned Mississippi Gatorade Player of the Year honors. Known for exceptional ball skills and defensive playmaking, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound safety looks to be a contributor in the Bulldogs’ secondary this fall.
The watch list features 37 candidates from across the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Semifinalists will be announced on November 4, 2026, followed by finalists on December 2, 2026, and the winner on December 28, 2026. The formal presentation will take place on March 13, 2027, at the 90th Maxwell Football Club Awards in Atlanta, Georgia.
