Demetric Felton named to the Doak Walker Award watch list

Well, that took a while.

During ‘award watch season,’ we had to wait longer than usual to see our first UCLA Bruins player named. But that wait is over.

Demetric Felton was named to the Doak Walker Award Watch List, joining the nation’s top running backs for the annual award that recognizes just that, the top collegiate back.

A threat in the receiving game, Felton made his presence known last year even with Joshua Kelley in the lineup. He set a UCLA record for a running back with 55 catches out of the backfield.
