Four on list
Sooner quartet up for Maxwell

The Norman Transcript

Though some questions remain as Oklahoma awaits the beginning of preseason football practice, there’s no doubt about the Sooners’ starpower.

The Maxwell Football Club, which awards the Maxwell Award, probably the most tradition-rich of the college football player-of-the-year honors after the Heisman Trophy, has placed four Sooners on its initial watch list for the 2008 season.

They are quarterback Sam Bradford, running back DeMarco Murray, tight end Jermaine Gresham and wide receiver Juaquin Iglesias.

Bradford, a sophomore, led the nation in passing efficiency his freshman season at 176.53 and set an NCAA freshman record with 36 touchdown passes.

Murray sat out of spring practice to recover from a dislocated kneecap after a redshirt freshman season that included 764 yards on the ground and 13 touchdowns, as well as a 29.3 yard kickoff return average, second best in program history.

Gresham enjoyed a breakout sophomore season last year, catching 11 touchdown passes, the second-best single season total in Sooner history.

Iglesias led OU with 68 catches last season for 907 yards, out-producing fellow junior Malcolm Kelly, who left early for the NFL draft.

Should any of the four win the Maxwell, they would be the third Sooner to claim the award, joining Tommy McDonald (1956) and Jason White (2004).
