The PwC SMU Athletic Forum announced Thursday that Clemson running back Travis Etienne has been named as one of 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award, presented annually to the nation’s top running back.
Overall, Etienne has rushed for 1,335 yards this season, which ranks 6th nationally. He is averaging 121.4 yards per game and 8.7 yards per carry. He has scored 14 rushing touchdowns.
The junior has once again dominated the ACC, especially in the last six weeks. Since Oct. 12, when No. 3 Clemson beat Florida State 45-14 at Memorial Stadium, Etienne has run for 100 or more yards in all six games, a Clemson record for consecutive 100-yard rushing games.
