Saline/Virginia Tech QB Josh Jackson was selected for the pre-season 2018 Maxwell Award Watch List (Story)

Josh Jackson who is a 2016 graduate from Saline High School and now plays at Virginia Tech, was selected for the pre-season 2018 Maxwell Award Watch List.

Each year the Maxwell Football Club presents the Maxwell Award for the College Player of the Year. This award is presented in honor of Robert W. (Tiny) Maxwell, legendary college player, official and sports columnist.

Jackson is coming off of a record-setting rookie campaign for the Hokies. He set two Virginia Tech freshmen passing marks with 2,991 yards and 20 touchdowns. Jackson's passing yardage and 236 completions led all Power Five freshmen quarterbacks in 2017. The first freshman quarterback at Virginia Tech to start a season opener since Michael Vick in 1999, Jackson was named ACC Freshman of the Week twice last season and tied a program record with five touchdown passes at East Carolina.
