DURHAM, N.C. – Duke redshirt junior running back Brittain Brown and junior running back Deon Jackson have been named to the watch list for the Doak Walker Award, an honor presented annually to the nation’s top running back. It is the second consecutive selection to the Doak Walker Watch List for Brown and the first in Jackson’s career.
The award, which will announce its 30th recipient in 2019, is named for SMU’s three-time All-America running back Doak Walker. It is the only major collegiate award that requires all candidates to be in good academic standing and on schedule to graduate within one year of other students of the same classification.
