College football’s preseason awards watch list season is underway. A slew of committees have been revealing their lists since yesterday. We’ll keep an eye on which Eagles find their names on which list, not that the selections are a be-all, end-all. Anyone can still win their respective awards, but this is a good way to familiarize with the landscape of different position groups and to get more hyped about the upcoming season.
Phil Jurkovec was named to the Davey O’Brien Award Watch List, given annually to the nation’s top quarterback. The preseason watch list includes 30 signal-callers around the country.
