FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas' Tyler Wilson has been named one of 16 semifinalists for the Davey O'Brien Award, which recognizes the top quarterback in the country.
Wilson, a junior from Greenwood, Ark., is 6-1 in his first season as the starter for the No. 8 Razorbacks (6-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference). He leads the SEC with an average of 287.9 yards of total offense per game and has completed 62.7 percent of his passes.

Arkansas travels to Vanderbilt on Saturday.
