Florida State running back Treshaun Ward was among 74 candidates named to the Doak Walker Award watch list Wednesday.
It’s assumed that Ward will play a more significant role in the offense this season with the departure of starter Jashaun Corbin. The redshirt sophomore finished third on the team in rushing yards (515 yards) behind Corbin (887) and quarterback Jordan Travis (530).
His average of 6.4 yards per rush led the ACC among players with at least 75 carries. He also caught 21 passes for 185 yards and one touchdown and gained 46 yards on two kickoff returns.
