University of Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett and tailback Michael Smith were among the 55 players who were named by Maxwell Football Club President Ron Jaworski to the 2009 Watch List for the 73rd Maxwell Award, which is presented to the Outstanding Player in College Football.
Arkansas was 1 of 12 teams nationally to have multiple players on the list and Mallett, who is a redshirt sophomore, was one of the 10 underclassmen that were recognized.
Before transferring to Arkansas, Mallett played in 11 games at Michigan and recorded a 3-0 mark as a starter with wins over Notre Dame, Penn State and Minnesota.
Smith, a redshirt senior, is considered by many to be the top running back in the Southeastern Conference. He has rushed for 1,622 yards and 14 touchdowns in his career. He also has 37 career receptions for 366 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Semifinalists for the Maxwell Award will be announced on Nov. 4 and three finalists for each award will be announced Nov. 23. The SEC Rocks!
