Ohio State football has 3 players on the Maxwell Award watchlist

Only three Buckeyes?!?

Now that the Big Ten media day’s are in the rear view mirror, Ohio State football can now focus on getting ready for the start of the season.

With that comes award watch lists, and the [autotag]Maxwell Award[/autotag] announced its 2024 watchlist on Monday. Three Buckeyes made the list: quarterback [autotag]Will Howard[/autotag], running back [autotag]Quinshon Judkins[/autotag] and wide receiver [autotag]Emeka Egbuka[/autotag].

The annual award given out to the best all-around player in college football did have one notable Ohio State omission, running back [autotag]TreVeyon Henderson[/autotag]. The committee most likely had to pick just one of the Buckeye running backs, but in reality, both should be on there.

It’s worth noting that former Ohio State quarterbacks Quinn Ewers (Texas) and Kyle McCord (Syracuse) both made the list as well. Hopefully it’s one of the current Buckeyes who takes home this award.
