No surprise here: C.J. Stroud is one of 35 quarterbacks on the preseason watch list for the Davey O’Brien Award, which honors college football’s best QB.

Stroud was one of three finalists for the award last year along with eventual winner Bryce Young of Alabama and Pittsburgh’s Kenny Pickett.
Ohio State’s quarterback has now been named to two preseason watch lists in two days, as he was one of three Buckeyes (along with TreVeyon Henderson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba) named to the Maxwell Award watch list Monday.
