It’s “watch list season” and Mississippi State’s got a guy that is rightfully getting some recognition as we creep our way through the offseason. Redshirt junior quarterback, Nick Fitzgerald, has earned his way onto two prominent watch lists.

Both the Davey O’Brien award and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award are keeping an eye on the 6-5 and 230 pound signal caller.

The Davey O'Brien Award watch list is made up of 30 of the nation's top college quarterbacks, and was put together based on player performance during the 2016 season. Fitzgerald led the Southeastern Conference in total offense last year during his sophomore campaign with 3,798 yards.
