The Albion goalkeeper on loan at Coventry City is on a four-man shortlist for player of the season in the second tier.
Rushworth has been outstanding this season as the Sky Blues close in on the title and promotion.
The Sky Blues will be keen to keep him during what could be an interesting summer for the Seagulls in terms of goalkeepers.
Bart Verbruggen will be linked with various big European and Prem clubs, especially if he excels with the Netherlands at the World Cup.
Rushworth has bounced back from an injury-troubled 2024-25 season and his latest clean sheet came at Hull City, where he endured frustration last term.
He is joined on the shortlist by Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney, goal-getting Millwall wideman Femi Azeez and 20-goal Swansea City striker Zan Vipotnik.
Former Albion striker Alex Revell is one of four nominees for the League One manager of the season prize after his efforts with Stevenage.
Ex-Whitehawk boss Andy Woodman is nominated for League Two manager of the season after guiding Bromley to top spot in the table.
Frank Lampard (Coventry City), Alex Neil (Millwall), Sergej Jakirovic (Hull City) and Kim Hellberg (Middlesbrough) are the contenders to be crowned top boss in the Championship.
