The honors keep piling up for Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson. After being named the ACC Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year on Wednesday, he was named a finalist for Manning Award as the nation’s top quarterback.

Earlier in the day, he was named a finalist for the Walter Camp Award as the nation’s best player.

The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, announced 12 finalists for this year’s award on Wednesday. The winner will be announced after the bowls in January and will be honored at a ceremony in New Orleans.

The Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only quarterback award that takes the candidates’ bowl performances into consideration in its balloting.

Joining Watson are Arkansas’ Brandon Allen, TCU’s Trevone Boykin, Michigan State’s Connor Cook, Western Kentucky’s Brandon Doughty, Stanford’s Kevin Hogan, Ole Miss’ Chad Kelly, Memphis’ Paxton Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott, Sr., Navy’s Keenan Reynolds, and Houston’s Greg Ward Jr.

“I am very pleased with this outstanding group that was selected as our finalists,” Archie Manning said. “I appreciate the time and expertise of our voting panel who made the effort to get us to these final 12. The skills and accomplishments of some very impressive young men who didn’t make the finalist list shows just how competitive it is to be selected. Now we get to see how these guys do on an even bigger stage – conference championship games and bowl games.”

The leader of the top-ranked Clemson, Watson has accumulated 3,979 yards of total offense and 36 total touchdowns, both of which rank first in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The ACC Player of Year’s 161.9 passing efficiency rating also leads the ACC.

The Tigers (12-0) will play North Carolina in the ACC Championship Game on Saturday.
