Stroughter on watch list for Maxwell Award

By Associated Press

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - Oregon State University senior football player Sammie Stroughter is on the preseason watch list for the 72nd annual Maxwell Award.

The trophy is given out every year to the nation's top college football player by the Maxwell Football Club of Roslyn, Pennsylvania.

Stroughter, a native of Sacramento, California, enters the season with 1,613 receiving yards and 876 punt return yards.

He played in just three games last year after suffering a season-ending kidney injury September 22nd at Arizona State.

Stroughter was granted a medical hardship year by the Pac-10 Conference in March, thus regaining his senior season.

Oregon State opens the year Thursday August 28th at Stanford.
