The senior has appeared on three watch lists in 2020
HOUSTON – University of Houston football senior receiver Marquez Stevenson was selected to the watch list for the 84th annual Maxwell Award, the Maxwell Award Club announced on Friday.
The Maxwell Award has been presented to the College Player of the Year since 1937 and is named in honor of Robert "Tiny" Maxwell, a former standout at the Swarthmore College and a renowned sports writer and football official.
The Maxwell Award watch list will once again incorporate a broad spectrum of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) programs and conferences from coast to coast, and will feature fresh faces, as 2019 winner Joe Burrow (LSU) and finalists Chase Young (Ohio State) and Jalen Hurts (Oklahoma) have all moved on to the NFL.
Stevenson has also been named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List and the Hornung Award Watch List during the preseason. He led Houston with 52 receptions for 907 yards and nine touchdowns in 2019.
