COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Football senior QB Drew Lock (Lee’s Summit, Mo.) was named to the Davey O’Brien Award Preseason Watch List, announced Tuesday (July 17) by the Davey O’Brien Foundation. Lock is one of 26 quarterbacks on the preseason watch list for the award, which is given annually to college football’s top quarterback. This is the second major award that Lock is up for this preseason after earning a place on the Maxwell Award Watch List Monday, which is given to the top offensive player in college football.

Lock led the SEC in 10 offensive categories a year ago, including passing TDs (44), yards per attempts (10.0), yards per game (304.9), total offense (313.5) and passing efficiency (169.4). He is the SEC and Mizzou single season record holder for passing TDs with 44 in 2017. He also set Mizzou’s single season passing efficiency mark a year ago at 165.67. He was the All-SEC First Team selection at quarterback by both the AP and league’s coaches.

Mizzou Football will open the 2018 season on Sept. 1, 2018, against UT Martin at Memorial Stadium.
