Maxwell Award announces 2024 preseason watchlist
The Maxwell Award has released its hefty preseason watchlist of contenders for the honor in the 2024 College Football season.

Washington quarterback Michael Penix was the recipient of the award last season, a departure from the Heisman winner, Jayden Daniels. But now, you can see the early list of 2024 stars who could come home with the trophy.
