BUFFALO, NY – University at Buffalo quarterback Cole Snyder was named to the Manning Award Watch List on Tuesday, presented annually to the top quarterback in college football. He is one of 33 quarterbacks on the list, including one of three from the Mid-American Conference.
A transfer from Rutgers, Snyder is entering his second season as the Bulls' starter under center. Last year, he finished 271-for-461 for 3,030 yards and threw 18 touchdowns on the year. He became just the third quarterback in program history to throw for 3,000 yards in a season. He also rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns.
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 includes the candidates' bowl performances in its balloting.
In its first 19 years, the Manning Award has recognized the top names in college football. It has honored quarterbacks from 14 different schools and from four different conferences. The Southeastern Conference (Stetson Bennett, Bryce Young, Joe Burrow, Mac Jones, Johnny Manziel, Cam Newton, JaMarcus Russell and Tim Tebow) leads the way with eight Manning Award honorees, while the Big 12 Conference (Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Vince Young, Colt McCoy and Robert Griffin III) has had five winners. The Atlantic Coast Conference (Deshaun Watson twice, Matt Ryan and Jameis Winston) has had four Manning Award winners. Alabama (Bryce Young and Jones), LSU (Burrow and Russell), Oklahoma (Murray and Mayfield), and Texas (McCoy and Vince Young) have each produced a pair of Manning Award winners.
