CINCINNATI — Cincinnati running back Corey Kiner is a part of the 80-name list making up the 2024 Maxwell Award Watchlist.

The Maxwell Award has been given annually to the college player of the year since 1937. Kiner figures to be the main cog of Cincinnati's offensive attack this coming season after posting 1,047 rushing yards and five touchdowns last season.

He is the first Bearcat to make the watchlist since Desmond Ridder did in 2021.
