Spencer Sanders is expected to take a big step forward in 2021, and his inclusion on a watch list Tuesday only further those expectations.

Sanders, Oklahoma State’s quarterback, was named to the Davey O’Brien Award’s preseason watch list Tuesday morning. The award is given out annually to the top quarterback in college football.

The Davey O’Brien has been awarded annually since 1981. No Oklahoma State QB has ever taken home the hardware. Alabama’s Mac Jones won the award in 2020.

There are 30 players on this year’s preseason list. The list is “based on career player performance and expectations heading into the 2021 college football season.
