BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum and linebacker Fred Warner were named to the watch lists for the 81st annual Maxwell Award and 23rd annual Chuck Bednarik Award, respectively, by the Maxwell Football Club on Monday.
The Maxwell Award, named in honor of Robert W. "Tiny" Maxwell, has been given to America's College Player of the Year since 1937. Maxwell's contributions to the game of football were extensive, including time as a player, a sportswriter and an official.
Last year, Mangum led the Cougars to a Poinsettia Bowl victory in his only start after earning Touchdown Club of Columbus National Freshman of the Year honors in 2015.
