DALLAS, Texas –– The University of Tulsa running backs Shamari Brooks and Deneric Prince were named to the Doak Walker Award Preseason Watch List, it was announced today by the PwC SMU Athletic Forum.
The Doak Walker Award, named for SMUs three-time All-America running back Doak Walker, is annually presented to the nation's top college running back.
Brook, who stands 5'9" from Tulsa Union High School, will be returning for his senior season after a knee injury kept him out of the 2020 campaign.
In 2019, Brooks rushed for a team-high 1,046 yards and six touchdowns last year in 12 games.
