The start of the college football season is just 47 days away when the Oklahoma Sooners open the season on the road against the Tulane Green Wave. With the season just around the corner, it’s officially watch-list season. With the Sooners expected to be in contention this year, there are several players on both sides of the ball that will be in contention for some postseason awards in 2021.

The Maxwell Award dropped its first watch list today and Spencer Rattler and Marvin Mims have been selected as players to watch for 2021.

The Maxwell Award is given to the college player of the year as voted on by a panel of broadcast and print journalists as well as college football’s head coaches.

First handed out in 1937, previous winners of the Maxwell Award include Baker Mayfield (2017), Jason White (2004), Tommy McDonald (1956).

This is just one of the many watch lists that will feature Spencer Rattler and other members of the Oklahoma Sooners. 2021 looks like a good year to collect some hardware.
