In addition to conference media days, watch list season is yet another indication that college football is right around the corner. On Thursday, the watch list for the Davey OBrien Award, which honors the nations top quarterback, was released. The Big 12 placed five quarterbacks on the list.Baylor senior Seth Russell and Texas Tech junior Patrick Mahomes?are returning OBrien semifinalists. Russell led the Big 12 with a?189.7 passer efficiency rating last season, while Mahomes led the conference with?4,653 passing yards. Oklahoma senior Baker Mayfield, who tied Mahomes for the conference lead with 36 touchdown passes last season, is a returning nominee for the award. Mayfield, perhaps the most decorated of all Big 12 nominees, led the Sooners to 11 wins, the Big 12 championship and a College Football Playoff appearance last season.Rounding out the Big 12 candidates are a pair of first-time nominees: Oklahoma State junior Mason Rudolph (3,770 passing yards in 2015) and West Virginia junior Skyler Howard (3,145 passing yards). A Big 12 quarterback has not won the Davey OBrien Award since Baylors Robert Griffin III in 2011.

Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson regards the prospect of another assistant at the AFL club being poached as a distinction, not a distraction.Waverley Park has been a production line of head coaches in recent seasons.Clarksons former right-hand men Brendon Bolton, Luke Beveridge, Leon Cameron, Adam Simpson and Damien Hardwick have become head coaches at rival clubs.Brisbanes sacking of Justin Leppitsch created this years first coaching vacancy.Carlton assistant John Barker is considered the frontrunner, especially if Stuart Dew doesnt throw his hat in the ring.But Hawthorn assistant coach Brett Ratten is expected to be looked at by the Lions, and it wouldnt surprise if they tried to headhunt Hawks football manager Chris Fagan.Weve gone on record as saying well encourage any of our staff to seek greater opportunities and seek their dreams, Clarkson said on Tuesday.That has been the case with many of our assistant coaches. Theyve gone on to secure senior jobs at other clubs and were really proud oof that.ddddddddddddIf that transpires again wed wish them well.In an ideal world the Lions would start their search after this years finals series.But Clarkson noted the Hawks have dealt with similar situations, including in 2015 when Bolton was appointed Carlton coach in August.Damian Carrol stepped up to take Boltons place in the coachs box during finals and the Hawks won a third straight premiership.Were not in control of that (the Lions potentially reaching out to Ratten and Fagan), and to be fair we dont really worry about it too much, Clarkson said.Last year we were right in the midst of it with Bolts ... we had to appoint a new forward line coach for the last part of the year.You cant control that.The AFL website reported on Tuesday that Dew, who seriously contemplated joining Melbourne as Paul Roos heir apparent in 2013, was not interested in the Lions job.
