Former Liberty quarterback Dan Persa added to Manning Award watch list

FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES

Northwestern University announced that former Liberty High School standout Dan Persa has been added to the Manning Award watch list for his play the first half of the season.

Persa, a junior, leads all of Division I in completion percentage (75.7) and is also in the top ten in other passing categories. The quarterback also leads the Wildcats with 341 yards and six rushing touchdowns.

A panel will whittle the list down to ten finalists on November 29 and a winner will be announced on January 19.

Northwestern is 5-2 heading into a Saturday game at Indiana. Persa and the Tigers face off against Joe Paterno and Penn State at Beaver Stadium the following weekend.
