PSU’s McSorley, Miller selected to Maxwell and Bednarik watch lists

STATE COLLEGE – Penn State senior quarterback Trace McSorley was named to the preseason watch lists for the Maxwell Award for the National Player of the Year and junior defensive end Shareef Miller earned a spot on the preseason Bednarik Award watch list for the National Defensive Player of the Year, which were revealed Monday.

Penn State is tied for the national lead among all colleges and universities with its seven Maxwell Award winners. The Nittany Lions’ four Bednarik Award recipients are the most of any school in the nation.

McSorley, who is a two-time captain, enters his final season having thrown a touchdown pass in 28 straight games, the longest active streak in FBS. He holds the Penn State career records for completion percentage (61.8), passing efficiency (152.9), passing touchdowns (59) and total offense (8,268).

Miller collected third-team All-Big Ten honors from the media and honorable mention accolades from the league’s coaches in 2017. A member of the midseason Bednarik Award watch list in 2017, he led the team with 5.0 sacks and 11.0 tackles for loss
