Three Ohio State football players named to the Maxwell watch list

It’s watch list season y’all, and that must mean that the college football season is drawing nigh. And with the talent that Ohio State returns, especially on the offensive side of the ball, you would expect many players to get preseason notoriety as we get closer and closer to kickoff for the 2022 season.

On that note, the fine folks at the Maxwell Football Club released the 2022 watch list for the Maxwell Award on Monday and three Buckeye players are among the 85 total names.

The Maxwell award is named after Robert “Tiny” Maxwell, a Swarthmore College football player, coach, and sportswriter. It was first handed out in 1937.

You can probably guess the three Buckeyes on the watch list, but just in case, we’ve identified them for you with a quick little bio on each.
