Four quarterbacks from Big 12 schools, as well as two finalists from last season, head the list of 38 players on the watch list for the 2011 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award.
Members of the watch list, announced today, include 2010 finalists Andrew Luck (Stanford) and Kellen Moore (Boise State). A 2009 finalist, Houston’s Case Keenum, also is on the list after receiving a medical redshirt for a knee injury suffered last season.
The Big 12 quarterbacks on the watch list include Baylor’s Robert Griffin, Oklahoma’s Landry Jones, Texas A&M’s Ryan Tannehill and Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden. SMU quarterback Kyle Padron, a Southlake Carroll graduate, also made the watch list.
