NEW YORK --Â The College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA) in association with The Associated Press (AP) and the Fiesta Bowl Organization, today released an updated "Watch List" of 49 college football student-athletes from 42 different schools currently under consideration for the 2023 Comeback Player of the Year Award. Boston College graduate guard Christian Mahogany (Elmwood, N.J.) represents the Eagles on the list.
Mahogany, who entered the year as a Preseason All-ACC pick, was previously named to the watch list for the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award. The 2021 All-ACC guard missed the 2022 season due to a torn ACL. He has started all six games at right guard in 2023 as the Eagles have averaged 193.7 yards rushing after averaging just 63.2, good enough for last in FBS, a year ago.
Since 2018, the award has recognized college football student-athletes from all divisions of college football for overcoming injury, illness, or other circumstances. At the conclusion of each season, in a vote by a panel of college football writers, editors, and sports information directors, three college football student-athletes are honored as Comeback Player of the Year Award winners at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.
