Shrader Named to Davey O'Brien Award Watch List
8/8/2023 12:00:00 PM | Football
Quarterback Garrett Shrader has landed on another watch list as the 2023 season approaches.
Already a member of the Maxwell Award Watch List, the senior quarterback landed on the Davey O'Brien Award Watch List on Tuesday. Shrader is 1-of-35 QBs to make the preseason cut. Shrader is one-of-five ACC quarterbacks on the list, which ties the SEC and Big 12 for the most selections of any conference.
Already voted a team captain for the second year in a row, Shrader enters the 2023 season as one-of-five active FBS quarterbacks that have amassed 5,000+ passing and 1,500+ rushing yards in their career. Despite less than two seasons of starting at SU, he already is in the top-10 in program history in completions (10th), passing yards (ninth), passing efficiency (fourth) completion percentage (fifth), passing yards per game (fifth) and attempt (fourth) and touchdown passes (eighth). He also is second in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback at Syracuse and is tied for 13th in ACC history in the category.
The Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award is presented annually to the nation's best college quarterback and is the oldest and most prestigious national quarterback award. The 47th Annual Davey O'Brien Awards Dinner honoring the winner will be held Monday, Feb. 19, 2024, at The Fort Worth Club in Fort Worth, Texas. The award is presented by the Davey O'Brien Foundation.
The official Davey O'Brien Midseason Watch List will be released on Tuesday, Oct. 17, and will contain all active quarterbacks from the Preseason Watch List, all players honored as a weekly Great 8 recipient through the season's first seven weeks and any additional quarterbacks approved by the selection subcommittee.
The Midseason Watch List will then be pared down to the 35-player Davey O'Brien QB Class of 2023 on Tuesday, Oct. 24. Fan voting on social media (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) will again play a role in the semifinalist, finalist and winner voting totals when combined with the national selection committee's ballots. Voting will begin on Oct. 24.
The list of semifinalists selected from the QB Class will be named on Tuesday, Nov. 7. The Foundation will announce the three finalists two weeks later (Tuesday, Nov. 21). The 2023 Davey O'Brien Award winner will be unveiled live on ESPN on Thursday, Dec. 7, during The Home Depot College Football Awards.
The Orange open the 2023 season on Sept. 2 vs. Colgate. Season tickets, partial plans and individual game tickets are now on sale at Cuse.com/Tickets. Season tickets, which start at just $99, remain the best value for Orange fans. Fans can also purchase group tickets, hospitality packages and tailgate packages. With two of the last three games in the JMA Dome having been sold out, fans are encouraged to secure their seats today to be part of the action.
