Rising sophomore Dedrick Mills is on the path to college football stardom and his chances of going national in 2017 have risen even more. On Monday morning, the Maxwell Football Club announced their Maxwell Award watch list. The award is annually given to the best player in the nation.
Mills last season burst on the scene as a true freshman and put up great numbers. In just nine games last season, Mills had 152 carries for 771-yards and 13 touchdowns. His 13 touchdowns were the second most rushing touchdowns as a freshman last season in the nation.
