Syracuse running back Sean Tucker is one-of-82 preseason candidates for the Doak Walker Award, presented annually to the nation's top running back.
Tucker is coming off one of the most productive rookie campaigns by a Syracuse running back ever. He ran for 626 yards in nine games, the third-highest total by an Orange freshman ever. His 69.6 yards per game was second to only Syracuse all-time leading rusher Joe Morris.
The PwC SMU Athletic Forum Board of Directors will name 10 semifinalists in November, and three finalists, as voted on by the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee, will be announced in November.
