Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List Announced

The eighth annual Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List was announced live on The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Facebook page and includes 11 Big 12 representatives.
 
The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award recognizes the top offensive player in Division I football who also exhibits the enduring characteristics that define Earl Campbell: integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community and tenacity; specifically, tenacity to persist and determination to overcome adversity and injury in pursuit of reaching goals. In addition, the nominee must meet one or more of the following criteria: born in Texas and/or graduated from a Texas High School and/or played at a Texas-based junior college or four-year college.
The Watch List will be narrowed to up to 16 semifinalists and then up to 5 finalists.  They will be selected by broadcasters, commentators, journalists, fans, and previous winners. A winner will be announced at the end of this year’s football season.
This year's Watch List includes
  • 47 players from all 10 conferences including 2 independents (American, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Conference USA, MAC, MW, Pac-12, SEC, and Sun Belt)
  • Players representing Universities from 19 different states and 42 schools
  • Wide receivers lead the nominations with 16, followed by quarterbacks (12), running backs (10), tight ends (5), offensive linemen (3), and slot back (1).
  •  Baylor quarterback Charlie Brewer and Oklahoma State wide receiver Tylan Wallace are on the list after being finalists last year.
A player does not have to appear on the initial Watch List to be eligible to win the award. The Watch List is made up of players nominated from their respective schools.
