Philadelphia, PA. – NC State quarterback CJ Bailey has been named to the 2025 Maxwell Award Watch List. Today, the Maxwell Football Club announced its watch list for the 89th Maxwell Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding player in college football.
Bailey is one of 80 college football players named to the list and marks the second straight year the Wolfpack has had a quarterback named to the prestigious watch list, following Grayson McCall last season.
As a freshman in 2024, Bailey was called into action earlier than expected but quickly became one of the top freshmen in the country and top performers in school history.
