FORT WORTH, Texas - Redshirt junior Thomas Sirk has been named a "Great 8" Quarterback of the Week, according to an announcement by the Davey O'Brien Award on Monday.
All 128 FBS quarterbacks are eligible for the weekly honor, which is determined by a subset of the Davey O'Brien National Selection Committee. The winner of the Davey O'Brien Quarterback of the Week Award, which will be one of the week's "Great 8" quarterbacks, will be announced Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
In 1938, Davey O'Brien, who wore No. 8 as a star quarterback for TCU, became the first player ever to win the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award in the same year.
