I admit it would not have surprised me if JT Daniels were on the Davey O’Brien watch list. The fact nominees were required to start at least one game last season would not be enough to derail the hype for the Mater Dei QB.

Since it is just a watch list, Daniels still has a shot to win the award, right?

Anyways, here are the quarterbacks on the Davey O’Brien watch list.
