Locker Named to Davey O'Brien Watch List

The award is given to the nation's best quarterback and Locker is included in a list of 33 players that includes former Heisman winners Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow.

Locker is a bit of a long shot with such illustrious names on the list, but if Locker can pull some wins and improve his accuracy he will catapult into national recognition.

The other PAC-10 quarterbacks that made it onto the list are Kevin Riley of California, Jeremiah Masoli of Oregon, and Aaron Corps of USC.

The one odd name is Corps, considering he hasn't been a starter for the Trojan. It's a testament to the prestige of being the quarterback for USC, and the acclaim (and burden) that brings.
