Heisman-winning quarterback Davey O’Brien attended TCU and won a national championship in 1938. 83 years later, Max Duggan, who decided to enter the NFL draft, carried on his legacy as the first quarterback from TCU to receive the Davey O’Brien Award. According to the Davey O’Brien Award website, the award honors quarterbacks “who exemplify Davey O’Brien’s enduring character while exhibiting teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership in both academics and athletics.” Max Duggan led the Frogs, who were picked seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll, to a conference championship game against No. 14 Kansas State. He then threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns against Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl, taking the Frogs to the national championship. He also tallied two rushing touchdowns.
