Luton Named To Maxwell Award Watch List
October 09, 2019 | Football
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State senior quarterback Jake Luton has been named to the Maxwell Award watch list, the Maxwell Football Club announced Wednesday. The award is given annually to the nation's most outstanding collegiate football player.
The honor caps a busy week for Luton, who was also named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, a day after he was selected as the national player of the week by the College Football Performance Awards. He was also selected as a Manning Award Star of the week and was placed on the Davey O'Brien Award's Great 8 list. Both awards recognize the top quarterbacks every week.
Earlier Wednesday, Luton was also honored as the fourth nominee for the 2019 Capital One Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award. He's also been chosen as a nominee for the 2019 Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year Award as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), in conjunction with the Associated Press and the Fiesta Bowl Organization.
Luton, from Marysville, Wash., threw for a career-best five touchdowns and completed 18-of-26 pass attempts for 285 yards in the Beavers' 48-31 win over UCLA on Saturday night. He also ran for a 19-yard score late in the fourth quarter, becoming the first Oregon State player to account for six touchdowns in a game since Sean Mannion versus Colorado in 2013.
The Pac-12 honor was the second of his career, following the Beavers' win over Colorado last season.
Luton has now thrown 166 consecutive passes without an interception dating back to 2018, the second-longest streak in the nation, one behind Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa.
Next Game
Oregon State returns home to face Utah Saturday at Reser Stadium, with kickoff slated for 5 p.m. PT. For tickets, visit beavertickets.com or call 541-737-2050.
