Former Cartersville High Football Stars On National Watch Lists

CARTERSVILLE, GA — Two former Cartersville High School football stars have been named to national college award “watch lists” for the coming season.

Trevor Lawrence, who quarterbacked Clemson to a national championship in 2018, is one of 90 players on the initial list for the Maxwell Award, according to The Daily Tribune News.

The Maxwell Award is given annually to the “most outstanding player in college football.” Its winner is chosen by coaches, members of the media and Maxwell Club members. The award is named for football coach and writer Robert "Tiny" Maxwell.

Lawrence, going into his junior year as Clemson’s quarterback, is considered a favorite for several awards this season. He’s 29-1 in his college career, losing only to LSU in last year’s championship game.

Tight end Miller Forristall of Alabama is on the watch list for the Wuerffel Trophy, which rewards community service. Forristall was a starter for the Crimson Tide last season, recording 15 catches and four touchdowns.

The Wuerffel Award, named for former University of Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel, is awarded by the Chick-fil-A Foundation.

The Maxwell will be awarded in December in New York City. The Wuerffel Trophy will be awarded in February 2021 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
