Arkansas running back Rakeem Boyd has been named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List, which recognizes the top offensive player in Division I football from the state of Texas.
It is the eighth watch list nod for a Razorback this summer and second for Boyd, after being named to the Doak Walker Watch List on July 17 with teammate Devwah Whaley. The other Arkansas watch list honorees include: McTelvin Agim (Bednarik) on July 15, Cheyenne O’Grady (Mackey) on July 19, De’Jon Harris (Butkus) on July 22, Connor Limpert (Groza) on July 24 and T.J.Smith (Wuerffel) on July 25.
Arkansas State junior quarterback Logan Bonner was announced Tuesday as one of 42 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players across the nation named to the 2019 Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List.
The award recognizes the top offensive player in FBS who also exhibits the enduring characteristics that define Earl Campbell — integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community and tenacity. In addition, the nominee must be 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 Earl Campbell Award will name 16 semifinalists in November and then narrow the list to five finalists in December. The semifinalists and finalists will be selected by broadcasters, commentators, journalists, fans and previous winners. The finalists will be brought to Tyler, Texas, for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Banquet that is scheduled for Jan. 15, 2020.
