It’s officially watchlist season.
Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon was named as one of 80 FBS players to the Maxwell Award watch list, it was announced on Monday.
The Maxwell Award is given annually to the most outstanding player in college football by the Maxwell Football Club. Gordon is one of five returning semifinalists from last year’s Maxwell Award. Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. won the award in 2023.
In addition to leading the nation in rushing and earning the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s top running back, Gordon was a unanimous All-American, Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and led all running backs in Heisman votes. His decision to stick with OSU over testing the transfer portal is a big reason for the optimism surrounding OSU this fall.
Semifinalists for the Maxwell Award will be announced Nov. 12, with the names of the three finalists released on Nov. 26. The winner will be announced during the ESPN Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Dec. 12. Barry Sanders is the only Cowboy to win the Maxwell Award.
