Princeton defensive tackle Caraun Reid has been named to the Buchanan Watch list. Chosen by The Sports Network, the leading voice of FCS football, the Buchanan Award is given to the top defensive player in the FCS. Here's TSN's interesting take on Reid:While Princeton defenses and Mike Catapano was working his way to being the Ivy League defensive player of the year last season, Reid was busy a few feet away taking on double teams and making life easier on all his defensive mates.
