Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa was named Tuesday to the Davey O’Brien Award preseason watch list for the second straight year.
The redshirt senior was also named to the Maxwell Award preseason watch list last week.
Thirty-five quarterbacks were included on the Davey O’Brien Award preseason watch list. The award is given annually to the top quarterback in the FBS.
Tagovailoa holds Maryland records for career passing yards, passing touchdowns, total touchdowns, completions, completion percentage and passing efficiency after three seasons with the program.
Last season, he threw for 3,008 yards, 18 touchdowns and 262 completions. His passing yards total trailed only Purdue’s Aidan O’Connell and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud for the most in the Big Ten.
