A Nebraska sophomore quarterback was named to an award watch list. Dylan Raiola was named to the Maxwell Award Watch List on Monday.
The Maxwell Award was established in 1937 and is presented annually to the most outstanding player in college football. “The award is named in honor of Robert “Tiny” Maxwell, a distinguished sportswriter and influential figure in college football.”
Raiola enters the 2025 season after a successful freshman campaign. He threw for 2,819 yards and 13 touchdowns while finishing as a semifinalist for the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year.
The quarterback is looking to become the second Husker to win the prestigious honor. I-back Mike Rozier won the Maxwell Award in 1983 after running for 2,295 yards and 29 touchdowns.
Semifinalists for the Maxwell Award will be announced on Nov. 11, 2025. The three finalists will be named on Nov. 25, 2025. The winner will be unveiled on Dec. 11, 2025, at the ESPN Home Depot College Football Awards Show.
