FORT WORTH, Texas – Arizona State University student-athlete Taylor Kelly has been named to the 2013 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award Watch List, the Davey O’Brien Foundation announced Wednesday.
The O’Brien Award is presented annually to the nation's best college quarterback and is the oldest and most prestigious national quarterback award.
One of five Pac-12 representatives on the watch list, Kelly has also been selected to the watch list for the Maxwell Award, given to the nation’s most outstanding player.
A total of nine different Sun Devils, including five on offense and four on defense, have earned nods on 12 different preseason award watch lists this summer.
Kelly set school records in both completion percentage (67.1 percent) and passing efficiency (159.9) in 2012, and his 29 touchdown passes were the second most in school history. He threw for a career-high five touchdowns in a win over Colorado last season and also set the school record with 19 consecutive completions against Washington State. Kelly also ran for more than 500 yards and accounted for more than 3,500 total yards of offense in 2012.
He earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 recognition as well as honorable mention Pac-12 All-Academic honors this past season, and was also a Scholar Baller®, which honors those who achieved a 3.0 GPA or made outstanding academic improvement.
Kelly is heavily involved in the Scholar Baller Leadership and Outreach Program, where he helps develop curriculum, deliver, teach and mentor students at South Mountain High School, Academy of Excellence and Cesar Chavez High School. He teaches teenagers about developing championship character, creating a strong sense of self and becoming a great leader, among other things.
