Avery Johnson and DJ Giddens make the Maxwell Award preseason watch list. Each player is expected to have big season and help K-State contend for the Big 12 title.
Finally, a couple of Kansas State football players made a preseason list that recognizes excellence on the field.
In 2014, Jake Waters was a semifinalist. Michael Bishop in 1998 and Colin Klein in 2012 were finalists for the Maxwell Award. Johnson, in a back-up role as a true freshman, showed plenty of potential of a bright future, especially after his only start in the Pop-Tarts Bowl in which he was selected MVP in the game.
