ISU's Meyer on 2006 Maxwell Award Watch List
Recipient to be announced in December
June 13, 2006
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - Maxwell Football Club President, Ron Jaworski, announced the 2006 Watch List for the 70th Maxwell Award for the Collegiate Player of the Year Tuesday. Iowa State junior quarterback Bret Meyer is one of 60 candidates for the award. Meyer ranks fourth on the
ISU career passing list with 4,802 yards in just 24 games. The junior from Atlantic, Iowa ranks behind only current Seattle Seahawk quarterback Seneca Wallace with 5,256 yards of total offense on the Cyclone career list (Wallace had 6,201 in 26 games in 2001-02).
Players selected to the initial watch list have distinguished themselves as All-Conference or All-American selections from their respective universities in past years. Underclassmen are selected based on recommendations from the Maxwell Football Club Advisory Committee.
The Maxwell Watch List was created as a reference to provide additional assistance to eligible voters and to the media when evaluating potential candidates. The watch list is not intended to represent an all-inclusive listing of candidates for the collegiate awards presented by the Maxwell Football Club of Philadelphia. Candidates are listed in alphabetical order with the player's position, class and university noted.
Twelve semi-finalists for each award will be announced in October 2006 and the field will be trimmed to three finalists in November 2006. The winners of the Maxwell Award will be announced at the Home Depot College Football Awards Show that will be broadcast on ESPN in December 2006. The formal presentation of the Maxwell Award will take place at the Maxwell Football Club Awards Banquet in March 2007.
All questions concerning the Watch List or the award presented by the Maxwell Football Club can be directed to Mr. Robert Clark (Maxwell Football Club Executive Director)
