January 11, 2023

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Winner for the 2022 Season

TYLER, Texas – The Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and SPORTyler announced today Max Duggan, quarterback, Texas Christian University as the recipient of the 2022 Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award presented by Earl Campbell.

Duggan received the award during The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award banquet January 11, 2023.

“I’m honored to present the award to Max Duggan,” Earl Campbell said. “All of these players had incredible seasons. They all deserved their place as a finalist.”

Max Duggan led TCU to its first College Football Playoff Appearance with the Horned Frogs advancing to the National Championship after a 51-45 victory over Michigan in the CFP Semifinal at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl. He totaled 282 yards of offense and four touchdowns in the win over the Wolverines.

The recipient of the Davey O’Brien Award and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award as well as runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, Duggan was named to multiple All-America teams. He was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and unanimous First-Team All-Big 12 selection.

Duggan’s two touchdown passes against Michigan moved him ahead of 2014 Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award winner Trevone Boykin (31, 2015) into second-most in a season at TCU with 32. Boykin is also No. 1 with 33 in 2014. Duggan’s 73 career touchdown passes rank second on TCU’s career list, behind only Boykin (86). Duggan’s 28 rushing touchdowns are tied for sixth in TCU history.

Duggan was 16th in the nation in passing efficiency with a 159.2 rating. He tied for the national lead among Power 5 quarterbacks with 17 touchdown passes of at least 20 yards and accounted for three or more touchdowns in nine games this season.

A Council Bluffs, Iowa, native, Duggan led the Big 12 in passing efficiency, touchdown passes, passing yards (3,698), yards per attempt (8.9) and yards per completion (13.9). His touchdown passes and 41 touchdowns responsible for (32 passing, 9 rushing) were second-most in a season at TCU, behind only Boykin (42, 2014).

Duggan keyed TCU’s furious fourth-quarter comeback against Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game, leading a pair of scoring drives to force overtime after an 11-point deficit in the final 7:34. He became the first player with 250 yards passing and 100 rushing in a conference championship game since 2015. Made possible because of a TCU penalty, he rushed for 95 yards on the game-tying 80-yard drive. He had a 19-yard run on a 4th-and-2 and then a 40-yard gain to set up his 8-yard scoring run on the next snap. He then completed a pass to Jared Wiley for the 2-point conversion.

In a 29-28 win at Baylor, Duggan led fourth-quarter scoring drives on TCU’s final two possessions without its leading rusher (Kendre Miller) and top-two receivers (Quentin Johnston, Derius Davis). The game-winning drive also came with TCU not having any timeouts available. He completed 7-of-9 passes for 83 yards while rushing four times for 33 yards on the two drives.

With a 73-yard touchdown pass to Taye Barber and a 67-yard scoring run just 1:18 apart against Oklahoma, Duggan became just the second player nationally in the last 15 years and first since Lamar Jackson in 2016 with a touchdown pass and touchdown run of at least 60 yards in the first quarter of a game.

The other three finalists for the award were:

Frank Harris, UTSA, QB, Senior – Schertz, TX (Clemens HS) C-USA

Bijan Robinson, Texas, RB, Junior – Tucson, AZ (Salpointe HS) Big 12

Deuce Vaughn, Kansas State, RB, Junior – Round Rock, TX (Cedar Ridge HS) Big 12

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – Central Michigan quarterback Bert Emanuel, Jr. has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the eleventh week of the college football season.

2022 Nominations The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award

January 12, 2022

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Winner for the 2021 Season

TYLER, Texas – The Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and SPORTyler announced today Bailey Zappe, quarterback, Western Kentucky University as the recipient of the 2021 Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award presented by Earl Campbell.

Zappe received the award during The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award banquet January 12, 2022.

“I’m honored to present the award to Bailey Zappe,” Earl Campbell said. “All of these players had incredible seasons. They all deserved their place as a finalist.”

WKU quarterback Bailey Zappe finished the 2021 campaign by completing 475 of 686 passes (69.2%) for 5,987 yards, with 62 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He leads the nation in yards by 1,226 (next-closest is Mississippi State’s Will Rogers’ 4,741) and touchdowns by 16 (next-closest is Alabama’s Bryce Young’s 46). With 422 yards and six touchdowns in the Hilltoppers’ 59-38 victory over App State in the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl, Zappe set new all-time single-season FBS records, passing Texas Tech’s B.J. Symons, who had 5,833 yards in 13 games in 2003 and LSU’s Joe Burrow, who had 60 touchdowns in 15 games in 2019.

Although Zappe has racked up awards and recognition all season long, it was the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award that first put him in the spotlight. On August 5, he became the first WKU player in the award’s nine seasons to be recognized as a Watch List member. Throughout the campaign, Zappe earned weekly Honorable Mention status following seven of the Hilltoppers’ eight regular season victories.

Zappe went on to be a Manning Award Finalist, Davey O’Brien Award Semifinalist and Walter Camp Player of the Year Award Semifinalist. He was Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week four times and was voted the league’s Most Valuable Player by the 14 head coaches. On November 15, Zappe became the first quarterback to accept an invitation to the 2022 Reese’s Senior Bowl, where he will join fellow standouts North Carolina’s Sam Howell, Pitt’s Kenny Pickett, Cincinnati’s Desmond Ridder, Nevada’s Carson Strong and Liberty’s Malik Willis.

With a C-USA Championship Game-record and career-high 577 yards at UTSA on December 3, Zappe became only the sixth quarterback in FBS history to achieve a 5,000-yard, 50-touchdown campaign. In addition, his 577 yards marked the first FBS passing performance of 560 or more yards since UCF’s Dillon Gabriel had 601 at Memphis on October 17, 2020.

From 2020-to-2021, the Hilltoppers went from scoring 19.0 points per game to 44.2 (+25.2 increase leads the nation), scoring 2.0 offensive touchdowns per game to 5.4 (+3.4) and 164.3 passing yards per game to 433.7 (+269.4). The 433.7 passing yards per game is the second-best number in FBS over the past five years (2019 Washington State averaged 437.2). In 14 games this season, Zappe had 90 passing “chunk” plays of 20 or more yards with 25 of those going for touchdowns. Comparatively, in 12 games in 2020, WKU had 15 “chunk” passing plays with three of those going for touchdowns.

The other four finalists for the award were:

Sincere McCormick, UTSA, RB, Junior – Converse, TX (Judson HS) Conf-USA

Abram Smith, Baylor, RB, Senior – Abilene, TX (Abilene HS) Big 12

TYLER, Texas – The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award today announced the 2021 finalists as determined by the Selection Committee.

Finalists:

Sincere McCormick, UTSA, RB, Junior – Converse, TX (Judson HS) Conf-USA

Abram Smith, Baylor, RB, Senior – Abilene, TX (Abilene HS) Big 12

Deuce Vaughn, Kansas State, RB, Sophomore – Round Rock, TX (Cedar Ridge HS) Big 12

Garrett Wilson, Ohio State, WR, Junior – Austin, TX (Lake Travis HS) Big Ten

Bailey Zappe, Western Kentucky, QB, Gr. Student – Victoria, TX (Victoria East HS) Conf-USA

Sincere McCormick – McCormick was selected as an All-American by both the Football Writers Association of American (second team) and Associated Press (third team). He was tabbed the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year and first-team all-conference for the second straight season. McCormick is an Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award finalist for the second year in a row. He also repeated as a Doak Walker Award semifinalist, Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Best Running Back and All-Texas College First Team pick.

McCormick has rushed for 1,479 yards and 15 touchdowns on 298 carries — all UTSA records. He has caught 22 passes for 184 yards in 13 games this fall, helping lead the Roadrunners to a 12-1 record and the program’s first conference title. McCormick leads C-USA and ranks fifth in the FBS in rushing yards. He sits 10th nationally in rushing touchdowns. He has topped the 100-yard mark on the ground in a program-record eight games. McCormick rushed for 204 yards and three TDs in the 49-41 victory against WKU (12/3) en route to being named the C-USA Championship Game MVP. McCormick broke his own UTSA standard for single-game attempts with 41 for 184 yards and three scores and caught three passes for 33 yards in the 31-28 comeback win at Memphis (9/25) and was named the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Player of the Week. He owns 20 school records including career marks for rushing yards (3,929), rushing TDs (34), 100-yard rushing performances (18) and all-purpose yards (4,438).

Abram Smith – Abram Smith, a native of Abilene, has rushed for 1,429 yards in 2021, the second-most in the Big 12, seventh nationally and just 118 yards shy of Baylor’s single-season record. He earned second-team All-Big 12 honors from both the coaches and Associated Press, also garnering votes for the league’s Offensive Player of the Year. He was also named one of 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award.

Smith ranked 17^th in the country with 6.16 rushing yards per carry and 33^rd in the nation with 12 rushing touchdowns. He scored in eight of Baylor’s 13 games this season and notched multi-TD outings in three games in 2021. His eight 100+ yard rushing games is tied for the most in a single season in BU program history.

Earlier this year, Smith received the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Player of the Week award following his career day vs. BYU, in which he rushed for 188 yards and scored three touchdowns. He also earned honorable mention recognition after BU’s season opener at Texas State, rushing for 118 yards and two scores.

The senior’s story is well documented, having been recruited to Baylor as a running back but switching over to linebacker during the 2019 season. In the final week of spring ball in 2021, Smith flipped back over to offense as a perfect fit for new offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes’ wide zone scheme.

By doing so, Smith has revitalized one of the nation’s most potent ground attacks as BU ranks 17th nationally with 214.7 rushing yards per game, increasing its rushing output by 138% after ranking 123^rd last season (90.3 ypg).

Deuce Vaughn – Vaughn is a First Team All-American by the Associated Press and Sporting News, while he was a Second Team All-American by CBS Sports and USA TODAY, in addition to being named a semifinalist for the 2021 Doak Walker Award and Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award. He is a Second Team All-Big 12 selection by both the league’s coaches and Associated Press, while Pro Football Focus named him the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.

Vaughn enters bowl season ranking fifth in the nation in scrimmage yards per game (144.1) as he is one of only two players in the nation with 1,000 rushing yards and 400 receiving yards.

He is closing in on becoming just the fourth player in Big 12 history and the third nationally in the last five years with 1,000 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in a season… Needs 29 receiving yards to accomplish the feat. Vaughn enters bowl season ranked third nationally in career all-purpose yards per game at 134.1 and is sixth with 144.1 all-purpose yards per game this year. He ranks eighth in school history in single-season rushing yards (1,258), fourth in single-season rushing yards per carry (5.88) and tied for 10th in single-season rushing touchdowns (14). Vaughn enters bowl season ranking 10th nationally, second in the Big 12 and sixth in school history with 18 overall touchdowns this year. He has totaled eleven 100-yard rushing games in his career to rank fifth in school history, while his eight this year rank third. Vaughn enters the TaxAct Texas Bowl on a five-game streak with 100 rushing yards, which is tied for the third-longest streak in school history and matches his career best.

Vaughn leads all Big 12 running backs in catches and receiving yards both this year and over the last two seasons combined. He ranks second in the nation among running backs in receiving yards since the beginning of 2020.

Garrett Wilson – Garrett Wilson has had an outstanding season for the No. 6-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. He’s the team’s second-leading receiver with 70 receptions for 1,058 yards and 11 touchdowns. Against Purdue on Nov. 13, Wilson accounted for four touchdowns – three receiving and one rushing – to earn Big Ten Player of the Week honors. Last week, he was named a first team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America. A second team All-Big Ten choice, Wilson ranks fourth in the conference in receptions, fourth in yards and second in touchdown catches. He’s the seventh player in school history to have 1,000 receiving yards in a season and is part of an offense that is on the cusp of having three 1,000-yard receivers and a 1,000-yard running back.

Bailey Zappe – For the year, WKU quarterback Bailey Zappe is 442-of 639 passing (69.2%) for 5,545 yards, with 56 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The Victoria, Texas, native leads the nation in yards by 1,094 (next-closest is Mississippi State’s Will Rogers’ 4,451) and touchdowns by 13 (next-closest is Alabama’s Bryce Young’s 43). The all-time single-season FBS yardage record is 5,833 by Texas Tech’s B.J. Symons during his 14-game 2003 season, while the single-season FBS touchdown record is 60 by LSU’s Joe Burrow during his 15-game 2019 campaign. A performance by Zappe of 289 passing yards and five touchdowns in the Hilltoppers’ bowl game vs. App State would eclipse both marks.

With a C-USA Championship Game-record and career-high 577 yards at UTSA, Zappe became only the sixth quarterback in FBS history to achieve a 5,000-yard, 50-touchdown campaign. In addition, a 45-yard completion in the first quarter pushed Zappe over Brandon Doughty’s WKU single-season program record of 5,055, which was set during the 14-game 2015 season. Meanwhile, his 577 yards marked the first FBS passing performance of 560 or more yards since UCF’s Dillon Gabriel had 601 at Memphis on October 17, 2020.

From 2020-to-2021, the Hilltoppers went from scoring 19.0 points per game to 43.1 (+24.1 increase leads the nation), scoring 2.0 offensive touchdowns per game to 5.2 (+3.2) and 164.3 passing yards per game to 434.6 (+270.3). The 434.6 passing yards per game would be the second-best number in FBS over the past five seasons (2019 Washington State averaged 437.2).

The winner will be announced at the award banquet in Tyler, Texas on January 12, 2022. All finalists will be invited to the event and the emcee is Brian Jones, college football studio analyst for CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network.

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – North Texas running back DeAndre Torrey has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the thirteenth week of the college football season.

Torrey had 23 carries for 108 yards and tied a career high with three rushing touchdowns in a 45-23 win over #15 and previously unbeaten UTSA.

Torrey eclipsed the 100-yard mark early in the second half on his 18^th carry to give him the 11^th 100-yard game of his career and fifth of the season. His 108 rushing yards puts him at 1,215 on the season, which ties him with Jeffrey Wilson (2017) for seventh on the program’s all-time single-season list. Torrey’s three touchdowns ties him for sixth all-time for single-game rushing touchdowns.

“I knew pretty early it was going to be a good day,” Torrey said. “When you start a game off with an explosive play on my first run, I figured it’d be a good game. The O-line did a great job and we did a good job scheming against these guys. As you can see, our backs all have different attributes. It’s clearly not just me. We have different guys getting 100 yards. This O-line is great. We have guys we can just plug in and fill the role. That line is great for our team.”

DeAndre Torrey is a graduate of Gautier High School in Gautier, Mississippi.

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Winner for the 2020 Season

TYLER, Texas – The Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and SPORTyler announced today Kyle Trask, quarterback, University of Florida as the recipient of the 2020 Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award presented by Earl Campbell.

Trask received the award during The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award virtual ceremony January 28, 2021.

“I’m honored to present the award to Kyle Trask,” Earl Campbell said. “All of these players had incredible seasons. They all deserved their place as a finalist.”

Kyle Trask threw for 4,283 yards and 43 touchdowns this season as he led one of the most explosive offenses in the country in the Florida Gators.

The Manvel, Texas native led the FBS this season in total touchdowns (46) and touchdown passes, while ranking second in passing yards.

Trask’s three touchdown passes against Alabama in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game made him the ninth player in FBS history to throw at least 43 touchdown passes through the first 11 games of a season. Of those nine, Trask is one of three to accomplish the feat with fewer than 50 attempts per game.

Trask set a single-season school record with five 400-yard passing games; he was one of two FBS players this year and one of two SEC players (Mac Jones) since at least 1996 with five such games in a season.

Trask was responsible for 46 touchdowns (43 passing, 3 rushing), which is second on UF’s single season record list to Tim Tebow’s 55 (32 pass, 23 rush) from his 2007 Heisman-winning campaign. His 46 touchdowns are also tied with Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel (2013) for sixth on the SEC single-season record list.

Trask also broke the single-season school record for passing yards per game (356.9), narrowly finishing ahead of Rex Grossman’s 2001 season (354.2).

The other four finalists for the award were:

Jaelon Darden, North Texas, WR, Senior. Houston, TX (Eisenhower HS) Conference USA

D’Eriq King, Miami, QB, R-Senior. Manvel, TX (Manvel HS) ACC

Sincere McCormick, UTSA, RB, Sophomore. Converse, TX (Judson HS) Conference USA

Kellen Mond, Texas A&M, QB, Senior. San Antonio, TX (IMG Academy) SEC

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – North Texas wide receiver, Jaelon Darden, has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the weekend of December 12th.

The senior wide receiver had a legendary eight-catch, 173-yard, four-touchdown performance in North Texas’ win over UTEP 45-43.

Darden is now the most decorated wide receiver to ever play for the Mean Green. He is now the program’s all-time leader in career receptions (230), career receiving touchdowns (38), career receiving yards (2,782) and single-season receiving touchdowns (19). He is also now second on the all-time single-season receiving yards list (1,190) and second in career touchdowns (rushing/receiving/returns) with 39.

“He’s a stud. I’m proud of him,” UNT head coach Seth Littrell said. “He deserves it because of the amount of work he puts in. If you’ve been around him, you know he’s a special player but what makes him special is what he does off the field when no one else is around just working out. He has all the tools. He’s tough in space. He’s good with coverages. He knows how to find space and get open. He’s one of those players that doesn’t come around too often. He’s just special.”

Darden on his performance, “It’s a blessing,” said Darden, “Statistics don’t really mean nothing to me, but I just want my coaches and teammates to look at me and say, ‘he was a great player and gave everything he had.’ That’s how I want to leave my legacy here more than anything.”

Jaelon Darden is a graduate of Eisenhower HS in Houston, Texas.

Zach Smith on the team’s big win, “It’s unreal, really. It’s hard to process everything right now. You know, feels great to win, especially a game like that, coming back from behind. I know I had some unfortunate stuff happen there at the first of the game. Kind of put us behind the 8-ball but we battled back and we’re an extremely resilient team. I can’t stress that enough, how resilient we are, and I can’t be more proud of this group of guys”.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – University of Florida quarterback, Kyle Trask, has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the weekend of September 26th.

Trask passed for a career-high 416 yards and threw six touchdowns to join LSU’s Joe Burrow, the 2019 Heisman Trophy winner, as the only players in league history to hurl a half-dozen scores in an SEC opener. The senior quarterback completed passes to 11 different receivers and connected on 30 of his 42 attempts.

“We had a great game plan. We had answers for every look they were showing us, and we had some great checks that we executed well,” Trask said after becoming the first Florida QB to surpass 400 yards in a game since Tim Tebow who, in his final game, dropped a school-record 482 yards on Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl following the 2009 season. “Overall, it’s just a great team win. Everybody executed from start to finish,” Trask said.

Kyle Trask is a graduate of Manvel HS, in Manvel, Texas.

NEWS RELEASE

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Winner for the 2019 Season

TYLER, Texas – The Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and SPORTyler announced today J.K. Dobbins, RB, Ohio State University, as the recipient of the 2019 Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award presented by Earl Campbell.

Dobbins received the award at The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Banquet January 15, 2020.

“I’m honored to present the award to J.K. Dobbins,” Earl Campbell said. “All of these players had an amazing season. They all deserved their place as a finalist.”

Junior running back J.K. Dobbins capped a legendary three-year career with the Ohio State Buckeyes by becoming the first among a host of great running backs from the school to top 2,000 yards rushing in a season and only the 27th in official NCAA annals to top the total. He is the ninth Big Ten running back with over 2,000 yards rushing in one season.

Dobbins achieved his 2,003 rushing yards in 2019 by simply being the best against the best competition Ohio State faced during a 13-1 season that featured a third consecutive outright Big Ten Conference championship and a return to the College Football Playoffs. Dobbins rushed for 100-or-more yards 10 times in 2019, including averaging 174.6 yards per game and 6.5 yards per carry with 11 touchdowns against six defenses that were ranked among the Top 15 rush defenses in the nation coming into the game. Those rushes were, in order:

Dobbins rushed for 172 yards and a touchdown vs. Michigan State’s No. 4 rush defense;
He rushed for 163 yards and two touchdowns vs. Wisconsin’s No. 1 rush defense;
He rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns vs. Penn State’s No. 4 rush defense;
He had a career-high 211 yards rushing and career-high four touchdowns vs. Michigan’s No. 13 rush defense;
He came back for another 172 yards and a TD in a Big Ten title game win over Wisconsin and its No. 7 rush defense; and
He capped his season and career with 174 yards rushing and a touchdown in the CFP semifinal vs. Clemson and its No. 9 rush defense.

Dobbins, who announced December 30 via his twitter account that he would forego his senior season and make himself eligible for the 2020 NFL Draft, departs Ohio State firmly established as one of the great running backs and players in school history. The first Ohio State player ever to rush for 1,000 or more yards as a freshman, sophomore, and junior, Dobbins finishes as the school’s second-leading rusher all-time with 4,459 yards, with the great Archie Griffin and his 5,589 yards the only player ahead of him.

Dobbins who made virtually every All-America team this year, including a first-team berth on the Football Writers Association of America team, averaged 106.2 yards per game over his career, and he totaled 5,104 all-purpose yards, with both figures ranking second in school history. His 6.2 yards per carry for his career was also second-best among Buckeyes.

Dobbins, a team captain in 2019, never missed a game in his three-year career, and he started 40 of the 42 games in which he played. He rushed for 100-or-more yards 19 times, and he caught 71 passes for 645 yards and five touchdowns.

Dobbins’ spectacular 2019 campaign included his being named a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, and a first-team all-Big Ten performer.

The other four finalists for the award were:

Charlie Brewer, QB, Baylor, Jr. – Austin, TX (Lake Travis HS) Big 12

Shane Buechele, QB, SMU, Jr.-GT – Arlington, TX (Lamar HS) American Athletic Conference

Jalen Hurts, QB, Oklahoma, Sr. – Houston, TX (Channelview HS) Big 12

CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma, Jr. – Richmond, TX (Foster HS) Big 12

Also present at the banquet were the award sponsors, which include: City of Tyler, BMW of Tyler, Brookshire Grocery Company, CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Health System, Clements Fluids Management, LLC, Patterson Commercial Property Group, R.W. Fair Foundation, Southside Bank, TDI Air Conditioning/James and Sharon Wynne, Chesley and Ted W. Walters, Austin Bank, Prothro, Wilhelmi & Co., Tyler Morning Telegraph, American State Bank, Texas Bank and Trust, Tyler Junior College, and University of Texas at Tyler.

THE EARL CAMPBELL TYLER ROSE AWARD

The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, announced in 2012 by the Tyler Chamber and SPORTyler, 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.

The voting committee co-chaired by Kirk Bohls, Austin Statesman, and Phil Hicks, Tyler Morning Telegraph, included 42 broadcasters, commentators, and journalists from across the country as well as fans and the previous winners, Bryce Petty (2013), Trevone Boykin (2014), Greg Ward, Jr. (2015), D’Onta Foreman (2016), Baker Mayfield (2017), and Kyler Murray (2018).

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – North Texas quarterback Mason Fine has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the tenth week of the college football season.

Fine completed 24 of 39 pass attempts for 332 yards and seven touchdowns – one off the program’s all-time high of eight in a game – in a 52-26 win over UTEP and the senior further etched his name in UNT lore with one home game remaining in his decorated career. Fine’s seven touchdown passes on the day broke his career high for single-game touchdown passes set last week at Charlotte when he had five. Fine completed passes to nine different receivers.

“It all starts with our preparation,” Fine said. “I think the juice on the sideline was there, and everyone just had fun and did their job. We started fast and that momentum continued throughout the game. It’s awesome when you prepare the right way and then go out and perform the right way.”

Fine became the seventh player in C-USA history to throw for 12,000 yards in a career (now 12,026), and he moved into seventh place all-time in C-USA with his school-record 91 career touchdown passes.

Mason Fine is a graduate of Locust Grove HS in Peggs, Oklahoma.

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – Baylor quarterback Charlie Brewer has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the fifth week of the college football season.

Brewer was 26-of-45 for 307 yards and 3 touchdowns. This was his ninth career 300-yard passing game as he led the Bears to a 23-21 victory over Iowa State. The Bears took a 20-0 lead before Iowa State came back to lead the game 21-20 with 3:45 left in the game.

With the game on the line the junior quarterback drove the Bears 54 yards in 13 plays. He converted three times on third-down plays and completed 7-of-10 passes to get Baylor into field goal range.

“As a quarterback, you’ve got to absolutely love having the ball in your hands to go win the game,” said Brewer. “I pride myself on that. I’m the quarterback. To be an effective quarterback, I’ve got to go win the game at the end. Our receivers and the o-line did tremendous on that drive. They’re the ones that made that happen.”

“I learned that we’re resilient,” Brewer said of the comeback win. “We still have a lot of work to do, especially offensively. But, it’s only the fifth week, technically, so we have some time. But, I like where we’re headed.”

Charlie Brewer is a graduate of Lake Travis HS in Austin, Texas.

TYLER, Texas – The Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and SPORTyler announced today Kyler Murray, QB, University of Oklahoma, as the recipient of the 2018 Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award presented by Earl Campbell.

Murray received the award at The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Banquet January 9, 2019.

“I’m honored to present the award to Kyler Murray,” Earl Campbell said. “All of these players had an amazing season. They all deserved their place as a finalist.”

Murray is OU’s seventh Heisman Trophy winner. He is the Davey O’Brien Quarterback of the Year Award recipient. He was also named AP Player of the Year and was a finalist for the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, Manning Award, and The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award.

In addition, Murray was first-team All-American (AP and FWAA), Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, named to All-Big 12 First Team and voted Most Outstanding Player of Big 12 Championship. He tied a league record by being named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week five times.

The junior quarterback was also an Academic All-Big 12 Second Team honoree. Murray played in all 14 games with starts in 13 contests (suspended for first offensive series vs. Baylor). He was the first FBS player to average at least 300.0 passing yards (311.5) and at least 60.0 rushing yards (71.5) per game for a full season and joined Clemson’s Deshaun Watson (2015) as the only FBS players to ever record at least 4,000 passing yards and at least 1,000 rushing yards in a season. Murray led the nation in total yards (school-record 5,362), points responsible for (324; tied), yards per completion (16.8), and yards per pass attempt (single-season FBS record of 11.6; former record was 11.1).

He is ranked second in passing efficiency rating (199.2; FBS record entering season was 198.9), third in passing TDs (42), and fifth in completion percentage (.690). 11.1 percent of his passes went for touchdowns (FBS record is 11.6), and he threw for at least two touchdown passes in all but one game and threw at least three TD passes in 10 of 14 contests. He set school and Big 12 records by assembling a streak of eight games with at least three TD passes. He passed for at least 300 yards and rushed for at least 65 in a game seven times (most nationally since at least 1996; had only been done four times by a Sooner in the first 22 years of the Big 12).

Murray led the Big 12 in league play in total offense at 409.3 yards per game (next most was 335.1), passing efficiency rating with a 208.2 mark (next best was 176.7) and in total TDs with 37 (next most was 31). He completed 260 of 377 passes for 4,361 yards and 42 touchdowns against seven interceptions (6.0-to-1 ratio) and rushed for 1,001 yards and another 11 scores. He is the only player in school history to throw for 300 yards and rush for 100 in a game, and he did it three times (360 and 100 at Texas Tech on November 3; 364 and 114 at No. 12 West Virginia on November 23; 308 and 109 vs. No. 1 Alabama in CFP Semifinal at the Orange Bowl on Dec. 29).

Murray became the first quarterback to ever rush for 100 yards against a Nick Saban-coached Alabama defense. He passed for 379 yards and three touchdowns (no interceptions) and ran for 39 yards in Big 12 Championship win vs. Texas (December 1). Murray finished 17 for 21 for 432 yards, six touchdowns, and no interceptions while adding 45 rushing yards and a score in OU’s 66-33 win over Baylor (September 29). His 348.0 passing efficiency rating in the Baylor game set school and Big 12 records (as did his 20.6 yards per pass attempt and 25.4 yards per completion) and was the highest in the FBS since at least 1996.

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – Houston quarterback D’Eriq King has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the ninth week of the college football season.

King tied the American Athletic Conference single-game record by figuring in seven touchdowns to lead Houston past No. 21/20 USF 57-36. King completed 28 of 40 passes for 419 yards and five touchdowns with two interceptions and rushed for a game-high 132 yards with two touchdowns on 12 carries. King had a career-high 551 yards of total offense against the previously unbeaten Bulls.

The junior quarterback ignited the Cougar offense to 57 points, which is the most points the Cougars have scored against a nationally ranked team since its 70-30 victory over No. 25/24 Tulsa on November 15, 2008. With the win, the Cougars improve to 7-1 overall and remain undefeated in The American with their 4-0 mark.

“He’s got a tremendous feel for the position. He knows when to escape, when to let the ball go, when to hold it, sit there and squeeze the trigger in the pocket. He’s got that same competitive juice that you saw Greg Ward have. I mean it’s fourth-and-six, we were on quarterback counter, and the guy just wheels it into the end zone. That to me, embodies what we are as a football team, what we are as a university, and what we are in the city of Houston. I don’t care what the odds are; we’re going to make it happen. I love that he’s the leader of our football team. He’s a tremendous ambassador for our football program,” said Head Coach Major Applewhite on King’s confidence in his position.

D’Eriq King is a graduate of Manvel High School, in Manvel, Texas.

Head Coach Tom Herman on Collin Johnson: “Collin is making a lot of plays for us and having a great year. Last week’s effort in our win over TCU was a great example of what he can do to affect a game. He’s one of the best one-on-one, 50/50-ball guys I’ve ever been around, and I would certainly imagine probably as good as any in the country right now. But his impact extends beyond the field as he’s a young man that does everything right, is an outstanding leader on our team and is a dedicated student. We’re lucky to have him and excited to see what he does the rest of the year.”

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – Texas Tech quarterback, Alan Bowman has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the third week of the college football season.

The true freshman quickly accomplished something one of his predecessors—Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury—never did: a 600-yard game.

Bowman threw for 605 yards with five touchdowns and the Red Raiders beat Houston 63-49 on Saturday. Bowman finished 43-59 passing for the fifth 600-yard game in Texas Tech history, and the Big 12 single-game record for a freshman. In the second start of his career, Bowman broke former Tech great Patrick Mahomes, II’s Big 12 freshman passing record of 598 yards set on November 29, 2014 against Baylor.

“That was a nice step in the right direction,” said Kingsbury, second at Texas Tech in career yards passing. “But I’ve said it all along, there’s an expectation at Texas Tech that started a long time ago that we’re going to play really good at quarterback and play really good on offense.”

Bowman has also been named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week as well as the Walter Camp National Player of the Week for his performance.

Alan Bowman is a graduate of Grapevine High School in Grapevine, Texas.

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – North Texas quarterback, Mason Fine has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the first week of the college football season.

In a 46-23 win over SMU, Fine completed 40-of-50 passes for a career-high 444 yards (fifth-most in a single game in program history) and three touchdowns with no interceptions. His 444 passing yards were the most by any FBS quarterback this week. The 40 completions, besides being a career high, also tied for the third-most in a single game in program history. Fine picked up right where he left off during his sensational sophomore campaign to help lead the Mean Green to their eighth consecutive home win, which dates back to November 19, 2016 (Southern Miss). Fine opened 8-for-8 and connected with 10 different receivers in the win.

“His eyes were in the right spot. He played very confidently and saw the field very well. They were doing some different things with their fronts and bringing different pressures, and I thought he saw it very well. The way he was getting the ball out of his hands and reading the defense, he’s looked as good as he’s looked since I’ve been here. That’s the work he’s put in in the off season. I’m very confident in him to go out and manage the game for us and play at a high level,” Head Coach Seth Littrell said about Fine’s performance.

Mason Fine is a graduate of Locust Grove High School in Peggs, Oklahoma.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the fifth week of the college football season.

Stidham went 13 of 16 for 264 yards and two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 49-10 win over #24 Mississippi State. He also completed four passes of 45 yards or more, including a 47-yard touchdown pass to Will Hastings in the second quarter. Over the last three games Stidham is completing 83 percent of his passes (58-70).

“That’s something I really take pride in,” Stidham said after Saturday’s game. “I don’t really want to throw it up in double-and triple-coverage just to throw it up and try to make a play. I want to throw it to the right guy against the right coverage. That’s something I kind of hang my hat on, and one of my goals every week is to have a perfect completion game.”

Jarrett Stidham is a graduate of Stephenville High School in Stephenville, Texas.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tyler Announces The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week

TYLER, Texas – Oklahoma quarterback, Baker Mayfield has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the second week of the college football season.

Mayfield led the Sooners to a 31-16 win at No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday, a game that marked the Buckeyes’ largest margin of defeat at home since 1999. It was also just OU’s second road victory over a top-two AP opponent in non-conference play. The other came in 1963 in Bud Wilkinson’s last year as Sooners head coach.

Mayfield completed 27 of 35 pass attempts, including each of his final 14, for 386 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. OU’s 386 passing yards were the most allowed by Ohio State at home since 1985 and marked Mayfield’s career high against an AP top-25 opponent.

Mayfield directed OU to a 490-yard night, the most yards surrendered by Ohio State in 34 games and most allowed in Columbus in five seasons. He led the Sooners into Ohio State territory on nine of the 10 possessions that began on OU’s side of the field.

The win gives first-year Head Coach Lincoln Riley an early signature victory.

Baker Mayfield is a graduate of Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas.
