2022 Outland Trophy Watch List

One of Liberty’s most experienced offensive linemen has been recognized for his talent heading into the 2022 football season.

Starting right guard Brendan Schlittler has been named to the 2022 Outland Trophy watch list. He was one of 89 recognized returning standout interior linemen on the preseason listing, representing all 10 Division I FBS conferences and independents.

The Outland Trophy is awarded to the best college football interior lineman. The award is the third-oldest major college football award (started in 1946) and is celebrating its 77th anniversary this season.

The recipient of the 2022 Outland Trophy will be announced on The Home Depot College Football Awards, live on ESPN on Thurs., Dec. 8.

The official presentation to the winner will be made at the Outland Trophy Awards Dinner sponsored by Werner Enterprises and produced by the Greater Omaha Sports Committee in Omaha, Neb., on Jan. 11, 2023.

Schlittler is a redshirt junior who has seen playing time in 37 career games, including 23 career starts. The native of Eureka, Mo., started all 13 games at right guard in 2021.

Schlittler has been named to the Phil Steele Postseason All-Independent second team each of the last two seasons and was a VaSID All-State second team honoree in 2020.

Liberty finished the 2021 season with an 8-5 record and defeated Eastern Michigan in the LendingTree Bowl in Mobile, Ala., marking Liberty’s third-straight bowl game win.

Liberty is just one of five FBS teams in the country who have won a bowl game each of the last three seasons, joining Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky and Louisiana.

The Flames finished the 2021 season ranked No. 8 in the country in passing yards per completion (14.69), No. 25 in scoring offense (33.6 points per game) and No. 35 in first down offense (297) and total offense (436.2 yards per game).

Schlittler was part of an offensive line that helped block for quarterback Malik Willis, who was selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans

Willis finished the 2021 season ranked No. 8 in the country in points responsible for (242/18.6 per game), No. 18 in passing touchdowns (27), No. 20 total offense (287.7 yards per game), and No. 20 in passing yards per competition (13.83).
