FORT WORTH, Texas – Florida quarterback Kyle Trask was named to the Davey O’Brien QB Class of 2020, the Davey O’Brien Foundation announced on Tuesday.
 
Trask was one of 35 quarterbacks in the nation named to the Class of 2020, with those selected being the official candidates for the 2020 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award.
 
A point scoring model was used to determine the quarterbacks in the Class of 2020. Points were awarded to players based on their overall performance as well as inclusion on the Davey O’Brien Preseason Watch List, weekly Great 8 lists and National Quarterback of the Week winners.
 
Through eight games this season, Trask has been named to the Great 8 List four times and named National Quarterback of the Week once. The redshirt-senior was also on the Davey O’Brien Preseason Watch List.
 
Trask has thrown for 2,810 yards and 34 touchdowns so far this season, while ranking first in the FBS in touchdown passes and fourth in passing yards.
 
Trask’s third touchdown pass on Saturday against Kentucky – a 7-yarder to Kyle Pitts in the third quarter – tied him with San Diego State’s Dennis Shaw (1969) and Houston’s David Klingler (1990) for the third-most passing touchdowns through the first eight games of a season in FBS history.
