UCLA football had three members of its squad named to award watch lists last week.

Rising junior quarterback Josh Rosen was named to three watch lists including the Davey O’Brien Award, which is given to the best quarterback in the country. He was also featured on the Walter Camp and Unitas award watch lists.

Kenny Young, a rising senior, was named to a pair of watch lists last week including the Butkus award, awarded to the best linebacker in the country. In 2014, former Bruin and current Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks took home the award.

Young was also named to the Wuerffel Trophy watch list, college football’s top community service award.

Rising senior defensive back Jaleel Wadood was the third Bruin watch listed for the upcoming season and was pegged for the Thorpe Award, given to the top defensive back in the country.

Rising sophomore and UCLA women’s basketball forward Ally Rosenblum spent time representing her country at the FIBA U20 Women’s European Division B Championship this summer.

Rosenblum played for the Israel U20 team in mid-July and helped the team to a 5-2 record overall.

Israel needed to beat Belarus by 11 points in the final pool play matchup but only won by four, keeping the team out of the medal stage. The team would eventually finish seventh for the tournament.

Rosenblum posted a pair of double-doubles in pool play against Great Britain and Belarus while starting all seven games at center.

She finished the FIBA championship averaging 7.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.

The All-Star matchup between the East and West Divisions was held Saturday in Wareham, Massachusetts and resulted in a 5-3 victory for the East.
