As if being selected to the Maxwell Player of the year watchlist wasn’t enough, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will also be eyed as a candidate to win the Davey O’Brien Award. The Davey O’Brien Award is handed out to college football’s top quarterback for that particular season. The last two years Oklahoma quarterbacks Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield have taken home the hardware and Tagovailoa looks to break that streak this season.
It should come as no surprise that based off of last season, the Heisman runner up would be eyed as one of the best players, let alone quarterbacks, in the entire country.
