White is one of 30 quarterbacks named to the watch list
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana -- Redshirt junior quarterback Brady White added another preseason nomination to his name as the Allstate Sugar Bowl announced the Manning Award Watch List Wednesday. He is one of two quarterbacks in the American Athletic Conference to be named to the list.
The list includes 30 of the top quarterbacks in the nation heading into the 2019 season.

The list of 10 finalists will be released on Thursday, November 28. The winner will be announced in the week following the College Football Playoff National Championship.

The SEC leads the way with six selections, while the Pac-12 and the Big Ten each have four selections, followed by the ACC with three. There are 17 seniors on the list while the junior class is represented by 10 quarterbacks and the sophomore class has three.
