The Maxwell Football Club unveiled their watch lost for the 2015 Maxwell Award, and NC State quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s name was on the list. The Maxwell Award has been awarded to the best college football player annually every year since 1937.

Brissett put together one of the best seasons ever by a quarterback in a Wolfpack jersey.  He was one of just three quarterbacks in the Power 5 conferences with at least 2,000 passing yards, 300 rushing yards, 20 passing TDs and five or less interceptions (Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariotta being one of the others). In the previous five seasons, only eight Power 5 quarterbacks have matched those numbers.
