STILLWATER – Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard and wide receiver Tylan Wallace have been named to the preseason watch list for the 84th Maxwell Award.

Oklahoma State is the only Big 12 school to have multiple players included on the list for the award, presented annually to the most outstanding player in college football. They also make up two of the conference’s eight total representatives on the list, which includes 90 players from across the country.

The Big 12 players are quarterback Charlie Brewer (Baylor), quarterback Sam Ehlinger (Texas), quarterback Brock Purdy (Iowa State), running back Pooka Williams (Kansas), quarterback Skylar Thompson (Kansas State) and quarterback Max Duggan (TCU).

Hubbard is one of six returning 2019 Maxwell semifinalists on the watch list, joined by Shane Buechele (SMU), Brewer, Travis Etienne (Clemson), Justin Fields (Ohio State) and Ehlinger.

With the recognition, Oklahoma State has now had players listed on 10 of the 14 watch lists this year that have been announced from within the National College Football Awards Association. Hubbard has already been included on the Doak Walker Award and Wuerffel Trophy lists, while Wallace was on the Biletnikoff Award list.

Hubbard ended the 2019 season as the FBS leader in rushing yards, rushing yards per game, 200-yard rushing games and all-purpose yards per game.  Hubbard’s season total of 2,094 rushing yards ranks 16th in FBS history and third in Big 12 Conference history. It marked the second-best single-season total in school history, trailing only Barry Sanders’ 1988 Heisman season.

Wallace was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award and a first team All-American in 2018. The senior out of Fort Worth, Texas, enters 2020 ranked third among active FBS players with 2,512 career receiving yards and is second with 20 career receiving touchdowns.  Hubbard has also been named to the preseason watch list for the Wuerffel Trophy.

OU linebacker Caleb Kelly is also on that list.

Hubbard and Kelly are two of 114 FBS players on the list, which is known as “College Football’s Premier Award for Community Service.”

Semifinalists for the award will be announced on November 3 and finalists  on November 23. The announcement of the recipient will be December 8.
