STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson is included on the preseason watch list for the Maxwell Award, it was announced today. The Maxwell Award has been presented to the outstanding collegiate football player in America since 1937 and is named in honor of Robert W. “Tiny” Maxwell.
The Most Valuable Player of the 2008 Insight Bowl after leading Oklahoma State to a 49-33 win over Indiana, Robinson set school records with 3,671 yards of total offense and 486 yards of total offense against Texas. The Littleton, Colo., product had five 250-yard passing games and three 100-yard rushing games in 2007 despite not starting the first two games.
“It’s a credit to my teammates that my name would be on the watch list for the Maxwell Award. It’s an honor to be included on a list with so many great players,” Robinson said. “We have a lot of guys returning on offense from a group that was really good last year and it’s nice to see that people are excited to see what we can do this year.”
Semifinalists for the Maxwell Award will be announced in early November and three finalists will be announced November 25th. The winner of the 2008 Maxwell Award will be announced as part of the ESPN Home Depot College Football Awards Show in December. The formal presentation of the award will be made at the Maxwell Football Club Awards Gala hosted by Harrah’s Entertainment Atlantic City on March 6, 2009.
The watch list candidates have been chosen by the Maxwell Football Club’s Selection Committee.
