Share:

Syracuse star running back Sean Tucker is 1-of-10 mid-season additions to the Maxwell Award Watch List.

The Maxwell Award honors the top player in college football, and has been presented annually since 1937. It is named in honor of Robert "Tiny" Maxwell who was a former standout at the Swarthmore College and a renowned sports writer and football official.

Tucker is the first Orange player to be on the award's watch list since Eric Dungey earned preseason accolades in 2018. Don McPherson won the award for Syracuse in 1987.

The preseason watch list featured 80 players in total.
