Tulsa quarterback Dane Evans is one of 30 college signal-callers on the preseason watch list for the Davey O’Brien Award. The senior has a chance to be the Hurricane’s all-time leading passer.

Evans has completed 56-percent of his passes for 8,332 career yards and 52 TDs to rank fourth on both the school's all-time lists for passing yards and TD passes. The senior enters the 2016 season needing 31 passing TDs, 2,604 passing yards and 3,169 total yards to tie the school records in each of those categories.

Evans has started Tulsa’s last 29 games and has four career 400+ passing games, which ties Billy Guy Anderson (1963-65) for the most in school history. He had three 400+ passing games a year ago, including 427 yards at No. 16-ranked Oklahoma, 424 against FAU and 421 against #17 Memphis.

Last season, Evans completed 62.9-percent of his passes for 4,332 yards and 25 TDs for the school's second-best passing season, and became only the second quarterback in school history to surpass 3,000 passing yards in two separate seasons. He ranked first in the American Athletic Conference for passing yards per game (333.2) and total offense (332.5), and third for passing efficiency (151.6).

Evans was ranked among the NCAA leaders in 2015 for passing yards per game (7th), passing yards (8th), passing yards per completion (11th), total offense (11th), pass efficiency (20th), passing TDs (26th) and points responsible for (33rd).

Evans is joined on the watch list by three other American Athletic Conference quarterbacks: Quinton Flowers (USF), P.J. Walker (Temple) and Greg Ward Jr. (Houston).
