Former
TCU quarterback Max Duggan has been named the 2022-23 Big 12 Male Athlete of
the Year.
Duggan, now playing for the Los Angeles Chargers, is the first Horned Frog,
male or female, to receive the award in TCU's 11 years in the
conference. Voting was done by a media panel.
Earlier this month, Duggan was selected as the inaugural recipient of
the Big 12's Bob Bowlsby Award. Named in recognition of the conference's
former commissioner, the award is the Big 12's most prestigious individual
accolade.
In leading TCU to the College Football Playoff, a semifinal win over
Michigan and trip to the CFP National Championship, Duggan won the
Davey O'Brien Award, Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and Earl Campbell Tyler
Rose Award while being the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. He was the Big 12
Offensive Player of the Year and a unanimous First-Team All-Big 12 selection.
He tied for the national lead with 17 touchdown passes of at least 20 yards and
led the Big 12 in touchdown passes (32), passing efficiency (159.2), passing
yards (3,698), yards per attempt (8.9) and yards per completion (13.9). He accounted
for three or more touchdowns in nine games. His 32 touchdown passes on the
season were one shy of the TCU record, while his 41 touchdowns (32 passing, 9
rushing) responsible for were also second-most at TCU.
Duggan was one of two Big 12 student-athletes on the NCAA Division I Football
Oversight Committee Student-Athlete Connection Group. As part of the committee
assignment, Duggan represented the interests of Big 12 players and college
football as a whole.
A Council Bluffs, Iowa, native, Duggan was a three-time Academic All-Big 12
recipient and a member of the 2019-20 Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team. He
earned his degree in marketing in December 2022 from TCU's prestigious Neeley
School of Business.
