NEW ORLEANS, La. -- Wake Forest redshirt sophomore quarterback Sam Hartman was named as one of 10 finalists for the Manning Award, as announced by the Sugar Bowl Committee on Friday.
The award is presented annually to the best quarterback in the country as judged by the Sugar Bowl Committee.
Hartman is in the midst of the greatest single season for a Demon Deacon signal caller while also eclipsing numerous career milestones along the way. He became just the second 10-win quarterback in school history and currently ranks third all-time in quarterback wins in his career.
The Charlotte, N.C. native finished Saturday's contest 20-for-32 for 236 passing yards and three passing touchdowns as well as a rushing touchdown, helping the Demon Deacons clinch the Atlantic Division title at Boston College. Over the past eight games, Hartman has thrown the ball for 3,020 yards, 28 touchdowns while completing his passes at a 51.7 clip.
He continues to inch closer to the all-time passing yardage list, becoming the fourth player in program history to throw for over 8,500 yards in his career and is 27th on the ACC all-time list passing Russell Wilson (NC State; 2008-11) this past weekend:
