BOULDER—For the second time in as many days, Colorado's Steven Montez was added to a postseason award watch list. The senior quarterback from El Paso, Texas, on Tuesday was named to the Davey O'Brien Award Watch List, given to the nation's top quarterback.
On Monday, Montez was one of four Buffs placed on watch lists. He along with junior WR Laviksa Shenault were named to the Maxwell Award Watch List for the national player of the year while junior DE Mustafa Johnson and junior LB Nate Landman were named to the Bednarik Award Watch List for the nation's top defensive player.
Montez returns as a fifth-year senior and two-year starter who is already in the top five in most passing and total offense categories in CU history. He ranks third in CU history with 7,648 yards of total offense and fourth in career passing yards with 6,841. He has 27 starts to his credit and has started the last 22 games. He has two of the top five seasons in CU history for passing yards and two of the top four for total offense.
Montez holds 34 CU records, including 25 outright. He's completed 565-of-907 passes for 6,841 yards with 46 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. Phil Steele ranks him the No. 12 quarterback in the nation and College Football News ranks him the No. 18 player out of the Pac-12.
