Getting your player ready...
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was named to the preseason watch list for the Maxwell Award on Monday.
The Maxwell Award, first awarded in 1937, is presented annually to the most outstanding player college football.
Sanders is one of 85 players on the preseason watch list, including Colorado State receiver Tory Horton. USC quarterback Caleb Williams won the award last year, the first Pac-12 player to win since Oregon’s Marcus Mariota in 2014.
Last year, when he was the quarterback at Jackson State, Sanders was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, which goes to the top player at the FCS level.
