A total of 30 quarterbacks have been honored as members of the 2010 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award preseason watch list, the foundation that oversees the award announced Wednesday afternoon.
One 2009 finalist -- Houston’s Case Keenum -- and five semifinalists from last season -- Matt Barkley (USC), Jacory Harris (Miami), Jake Locker (Washington), Kellen Moore (Boise State) and Ricky Stanzi (Iowa) -- are included on this year’s initial watch list.
The most notable absence from the list at first blush? Clemson’s Kyle Parker, although he seems likely to be heading off the Colorado Rockies to pursue a career in professional baseball.
Anyway, here’s the complete list of watch members:
