TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona Football quarterback Noah Fifita has been selected to the Maxwell Award Watch List, the Maxwell Football Club announced on Monday.
The Maxwell Award, in its 89th season, is presented annually to the most outstanding player in college football. This marks Fifita’s second selection to the award’s watch list, following the same honors in 2024.
Fifita enters his third season as the Wildcats primary quarterback in 2025; the redshirt junior has enjoyed nearly two full seasons under center at Arizona and has steadily climbed into the program’s leaderboards in most passing categories. The California native broke onto the national scene in 2023 after throwing for 2,869 yards and 25 touchdowns in his first taste of extended action. Fifita followed that up with another explosive season in 2024, going for 2,958 yards through the air for 18 touchdowns.
Across 27 times in his collegiate career, Fifita has combined to throw for 5,955 yards and 44 touchdowns while completing his passes as a 65% clip. He currently ranks eighth in program history in both career passing yards and touchdowns.
Semifinalists for the Maxwell Award will be announced November 11, 2025, while the three finalists for the Maxwell Award will be unveiled November 25, 2025. The winner of the 89th Maxwell Award will be announced as part of the ESPN Home Depot College Football Awards Show held on December 11, 2025. The formal presentations of the Maxwell Award will be made at the Maxwell Football Club Awards on Friday March 13, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia.
