JONESBORO, Ark. (7/17/19) – Arkansas State sophomore Marcel Murray was named Wednesday to the 2019 Doak Walker Award Watch List, issued annually to the nation’s top running back.
Murray, one of 71 players to find a place on this year’s version of the prestigious watch list, becomes the sixth all-time A-State running back to earn the recognition as he joins Warren Wand (2016-18), Michael Gordon (2014-15), David Oku (2013), Reggie Arnold (2007-09) and Jonathan Adams (2000-01).
The Red Wolves have now had a player listed as a Doak Walker Award candidate seven consecutive seasons dating back to 2013.
