The Maxwell Award, given to the best player in college football, released its watch list on Monday and included Duke wideout Jordan Moore.

The Maxwell Award Watch List came out on Monday, offering dozens of preseason candidates for the honor, and Duke wideout [autotag]Jordan Moore[/autotag] made the cut.

The Maxwell Award is given to the most outstanding player in college football, won last year by Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr.

Moore led the Blue Devils with 62 receptions, 835 yards, and eight receiving touchdowns last season. He made it to the end zone three times in a single game against North Carolina, and he surpassed 80 receiving yards in six different games. He even eclipsed the 100-yard mark in back-to-back games against Virginia and Pittsburgh, reaching a season-high 117 yards against the Cavaliers.

Moore, who started as a quarterback recruit before switching to the receiver room ahead of the 2022 season, also racked up 656 yards and five touchdowns as a sophomore. At the ACC Football Kickoff last week, coach [autotag]Manny Diaz[/autotag] and his teammates praised his work ethic and preparation ahead of games.

Moore could become Duke’s first 1,000-yard receiver since Jamison Crowder in 2014. The chase kicks off on August 30 against Elon.
