Spencer Sanders is expected to take a big step forward in 2021, and his inclusion on a watch list Tuesday only further those expectations.
Sanders, Oklahoma State’s quarterback, was named to the Davey O’Brien Award’s preseason watch list Tuesday morning. The award is given out annually to the top quarterback in college football.
