Daily Selected to Davey O’Brien Great 8 for Week Six
October 07, 2024 | Football
WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point senior quarterback Bryson Daily has been named to the Davey O'Brien Great 8 list for his performance in the 42-7 win at Tulsa on Saturday.
This marks the second time this season that Daily has been named to the 'Great 8' list, also being selected following his performance vs. Rice in Week 4.
Daily accounted for four touchdowns (two passing & two rushing), passing a perfect 5-for-5 for 140 yards, while adding 110 yards on the ground. His performance marked his fourth consecutive 100-yard game and he leads the AAC in rushing at 120.4 yards per game (eighth nationally) and is tied for the league lead with 10 rushing touchdowns (third nationally).
With his first 'Great 8' selection from Week 4, Daily was officially added to the Davey O'Brien Watch List, the first West Point signal caller to be on the watch list since Kelvin Hopkins Jr (2019).
The official Davey O'Brien Midseason Watch List will be released on Tuesday, Oct. 22, and will contain active quarterbacks from the Preseason Watch List, players honored as weekly Great 8 recipients through the season's first eight weeks and any additional quarterbacks approved by the selection subcommittee.
The Midseason Watch List will be cut down to the 35-player Davey O'Brien QB Class of 2024 on Tuesday, Oct. 29. For the fourth straight year, fan voting on social media (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) will earn players bonus selection committee votes during the semifinalist, finalist and winner voting rounds. First-round fan voting will begin Oct. 29 following the QB Class announcement.
The list of semifinalists selected from the QB Class will be named on Tuesday, Nov. 12. The Foundation will announce the three finalists two weeks later (Tuesday, Nov. 26). The 2024 Davey O'Brien Award winner will be unveiled live on ESPN on Thursday, Dec. 12, during The Home Depot College Football Awards.
The 48th Annual Davey O'Brien Awards Dinner honoring the winner will be held Monday, Feb. 17, 2025, at The Fort Worth Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
