One of Arizona’s most important newcomers has landed on a preseason watch list.
Wide receiver Jacob Cowing, a transfer from UTEP, is on the preseason list for the Maxwell Award, given to college football’s top player.
The 5-foot-11 Cowing came to Arizona after three seasons with the Miners, during which he caught 89 passes for 2,065 yards and 21 touchdowns. In 2021 he had a nice 69 receptions for 1,354 yards and seven TDs, almost surpassing the yardage total of Arizona’s top three targets from a year ago.
