FORT WORTH, Texas — TCU quarterback Max Duggan has had a heck of a senior season, and he's being showered with awards -- and nominations for awards -- as a result.
Perhaps that's to be expected. Duggan, after all, is at the top of the Big 12 Conference in basically every passing category.
Here's a breakdown of where he ranks, statistically, among his Big 12 quarterback peers:
- Passing yards (3070) – 1st
- Passing efficiency (171.26) – 1st
- Passing yards per completion (13.89) – 1st
- Passing yards per attempt (9.25) – 1st
- Passing TDs (29) – 1st
- Comp. % (66.56) – 1st
- INTs (3) – 2nd
By any stretch, that's one heck of an impressive season!
That senior season performance has already earned Duggan the following awards and finalist nominations:
- Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year
- 2022 All-Big 12 Football First Team
- Davey O'Brien Award Finalist (awarded to the nation's top college quarterback)
- Walter Camp Award (awarded to the collegiate American football player of the year, as decided by a group of NCAA coaches and sports information directors)
- 2022 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm winner (awarded to the nation's top upperclassman quarterback in college football)
- Heisman Trophy Award finalist
ESPN currently has him ranked as the second-most likely winner for the Heisman prize -- significantly behind USC quarterback Caleb Williams, but still!
