Florida’s Mike Gillislee has ran his way into recognition for a major postseason award.

On Thursday, the Gators’ senior running back was added to the watch list for the Maxwell Award. Throughout the season, players that were missed on the preseason watch list of 65 candidates are added based on their on-field performances.

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck won last season’s Maxwell Award, which is presented annually by the Maxwell Football Club for the College Football Player of the Year. Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow won the award in 2007 and 2008 and former Florida quarterback Danny Wuerrfel became UF’s first recipient of the award in 1996.
