Former Pierre quarterback Lincoln Kienholz has taken flight with the Louisville Cardinals this season. To this point, the Cardinals sit at 6-3 with Kienholz at the helm and have seen their Ohio State transfer put up some impressive numbers. Through nine games, Kienholz has thrown for 2,276 yards along with 14 touchdowns to just three interceptions.
Many wonder what could have been for Kienholz with the Buckeyes had he stuck around. The Buckeyes lost their starter in Julian Sayin to an arm injury in their win over Indiana, which has turned their season around 180-degrees. Ohio State has lost two games since Sayin went down, and certainly looked like they could have used Kienholz unique talent.
However, Kienholz is thriving in Kentucky. So much so, the Louisville quarterback has earned a nomination to the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award Class of 2026. The award was established in 1977 and is awarded annually to the top quarterback in the NCAA. To be nominated means you are making a meaningful impact to your offense and playing an elite level of football under center.
The class is made up of 30 candidates and will open voting to fans. Fan voting will remain open through November 15th with semifinalists being announced on the 17th. If you would like to place your vote, you can learn more by visiting the Davey O’Brien social media accounts.
