Four Pac-12 quarterbacks make the Maxwell Award watch list

There are several Pac-12 quarterbacks who were recognized for the Maxwell Award preseason watch list, as well as seven other offensive players from around the conference.

USC Trojans quarterback Sam Darnold. The Darnold is trying to lead USC back to the promised land.

Washington Huskies quarterback Jake Browning. Browning had a great sophomore campaign. Can he take another step forward?

UCLA Bruins quarterback Josh Rosen. Rosen struggled last season. Is this a year of recovery for him?

Washington State Cougars quarterback Luke Falk. Falk looks to justify a senior season return with a strong finish.

Arizona State Sun Devils running back Kalen Ballage. Ballage is going to be tough to bring down this season.

Oregon Ducks running back Royce Freeman. Oregon struggled last season. Royce did not.

Washington Huskies running back Myles Gaskin. Gaskin hopes to power a Washington offense and complement Browning effectively.

Colorado Buffaloes running back Phillip Lindsay. Lindsay didn’t get a lot of attention last season, but he’s become a very effective runner.

Stanford Cardinal running back Bryce Love. Love is due for a breakout campaign.

Oregon State Beavers running back Ryan Nall. The most underrated player in the Pac-12 won’t be underrated much longer.

Washington State Cougars offensive lineman Cody O’Connell. One of the most stalwart offensive lineman in the Pac-12.
