It’s a sign that football season is finally drawing near.
Between this week and next week, the National College Football Awards Association will roll out the candidates for each of the major national awards.
Today, the SMU Athletic Forum announced the Doak Walker Award candidates. The Doak Walker Award is given to the top running back in college football.
And BYU Football’s Squally Canada made the list.
The senior running back is one of 62 candidates, but he’ll have an uphill climb to win the award. Other players on list include Heisman Trophy contenders Bryce Love (Stanford), Myles Gaskin (Washington), and Jonathan Taylor (Wisconsin).
