Spencer Sanders Named Davey O'Brien Award Watch List
STILLWATER – Another day, another preseason award watch list for Oklahoma State quarterback Spencer Sanders as he’s named to the Davey O’Brien Award watch list.
The redshirt senior quarterback enters this season after being named the first team All-Big 12 quarterback after a solid season in 2021, in which he led the Pokes to a 12-2 overall record. He finished the season with 2,839 passing yards and 20 touchdowns, along with 146 carries for 668 yards and six touchdowns.
His redshirt junior campaign also featured top-10 wins over OU and Notre Dame, the latter of the two earned Sanders the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl Offensive MVP honors after leading the Pokes to the largest comeback in school history going 34-of-52 for 371 yards and four touchdowns through the air and 17 carries for 125 yards.
According to Oklahoma State athletic media relations, Sanders is just eight wins shy of tying Mason Rudolph’s record for most wins as an OSU starting quarterback, a feat which should be reached this season.
His 6,911 career passing yards ranks in the top 10 among all returning Power Five quarterbacks this season.
Sanders will have his chance to try and impress voters beginning on Thursday, September 1 as the Pokes start the 2022 season off with Central Michigan. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT on FS1.
