University of Tulsa running back D'Angelo Brewer was named as a 2017 Doak Walker Award Candidate, announced today by the PwCSMU Athletic Forum. The award is presented annually to the nation's top college running back.
Brewer, a 5'9" senior from Tulsa's Central High School, returns as the American Athletic Conference's top rusher from a year ago. With his 1,435 rushing yards in 2016, Brewer was second on the league's rushing list behind teammate James Flanders. Brewer and Flanders became only the second Tulsa running duo in school history to each rush for over 1,000 yards in the same season.
