The Tewaaraton Foundation added 10 college men’s players to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List on Thursday, including two Towson standouts largely responsible for the Tigers’ turnaround season and an addition from the Division III ranks.

Towson’s Koby Smith, a sophomore defenseman, and Brendan Sunday, a senior attackman, both were named, as was Amherst senior attackman Evan Wolf, the Warrior/US Lacrosse Division III Men’s Preseason Player of the Year.

The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are comprised of premier college coaches and are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation.

Players not named to the initial lists have several opportunities to play their way into a spot as the season progresses. The next round of watch list additions, if applicable, will be announced on April 11.

On April 25, the field will be narrowed to 25 men’s and 25 women’s nominees. Nominees can be players on the watch lists or players not on the watch lists, effectively allowing for a third round of additions.

This year’s initial watch list, announced on Feb. 28, recognized the top 50 men’s and 50 women’s candidates for the Tewaaraton Award.

Five men’s and five women’s finalists will be announced on May 9 and invited to the 19th-annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony in Washington, D.C., on May 30.
