TC, "nominated" is not the same as being a finalist.  I think that the Watkins folks only publicly announce finalists which will happen later this year or early 2015.

Stanford has a good record with Watkins finalists.  From Stanford Football on Facebook:

Bobby [Okereke] is the fifth Stanford winner all-time of the Watkins Award in its 23-year history, joining Jamal-Rashad Patterson (2009), Ekom Udofia (2005), Marcus McCutcheon (2002) and Michael Craven (2001). The next closest school boasts three winners. Stanford's 17 all-time Watkins Award Finalists far outpace the nearest school (seven).
