MEMPHIS – Memphis quarterback Brady White was named to the Manning Award Watch List released Thursday. White is also on the Davey O'Brien, Wuerffel Trophy and Maxwell Award watch lists and was a finalist on the Manning Award list last season.
Heading in to his third season at Memphis, White ranks fourth in the Memphis career record book with 7,310 passing career yards and 59 touchdown passes. He is the only FBS quarterback returning in 2020 who passed for over 4,000 yards in 2019. His 4,014 yards last season was the second-best mark in program history and was a key to Memphis' 12-2 season, American Athletic Conference Championship and Goodyear Cotton Bowl appearance.
