If you enter the season as one of the preeminent to win the Heisman Trophy and potentially lead your team to a conference title and spot in the College Football Playoff, then it shouldn’t be a surprise that you find your name on a handful of award watch lists ahead of the season.
For Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix, the first of many watch list announcements came on Monday, naming him as a candidate for the Maxwell Award, given to the best player in college football.
Unsurprisingly, the watch list also featured names like Caleb Williams, Michael Penix, Drake Maye, and many other top QBs in the sport.
