SPRINGDALE — Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield is the first two-time winner of the Burlsworth Trophy.
Mayfield, a junior, won the award Monday during a lunch banquet at Northwest Arkansas Convention Center. He beat out Washington State quarterback Luke Falk and Northwestern receiver Austin Carr for the award, which is presented to the nation's best player who began his career as a walk-on.
Like Mayfield, Falk was a semifinalist for the award for the second straight year.
Mayfield completed 71 percent of his passes for 3,669 yards and 38 touchdowns. Mayfield led Oklahoma to its second straight Big 12 championship last Saturday with a win over Oklahoma State.
