Jarrett Guarantano, Darrell Taylor garner some preseason recognition.
It’s ‘watch list’ season – the time of year where all the postseason awards release their lists of potential winning candidates. Among those candidates included Tennessee’s 2-year starting quarterback Jarrett Guarantano being named to the Maxwell Award watch list. The Maxwell Award is given out annually to the nation’s top quarterback. Guarantano finished last season with 1,907 passing yards, and 12/3 touchdown/interception ratio.
