Pitt WR, Larry Fitzgerald continues to be a top candidate for the Heisman Trophy (though, it is probably Oklahoma QB, Jason White’s to lose). He is on everyone’s list. (By the way, if you get Sporting News Radio, listen to Peter Brown do the Heisman watch on Thursday at 2:45 pm, just because he plays each candidate’s school’s fight song. Talk about getting fired up for the Saturday game — Let’s go Pitt!)

The Maxwell Award, given to the most outstanding college football player, has placed Fitzgerald on its 15 player watch list. Fitzgerald is the only sophomore on the list. This award has also been won by Pitt legends Hugh Green and Tony Dorsett.

Fitzgerald has been named a finalist on the watch list for the Biletnikoff Award. an award, that he already appears to be the clear winner. No other receiver in the country has received as much attention as Larry Fitzgerald. Former Pitt WR Antonio Bryant (now with the Dallas Cowboys) won the award in 2000.

The Pitt Athletic Department has really started to pick up the pace in pimping Larry Fitzgerald — excerpting (but failing to link to the article).
