Miami Hurricanes quarterback D’Eriq King on Tuesday was named to the watch list for the 2021 Davey O’Brien Award, which is presented annually to college football’s most outstanding quarterback.
It was the second watch list King was named to this preseason, with the 23-year-old signal caller on Monday being named to the watch list for the 2021 John Maxwell Award, which annually recognizes college football’s most outstanding player.
King is returning to UM for the 2021 season for his sixth college season after taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility the NCAA granted to student-athletes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
