It takes a special kind of player to catch the eye of the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the people behind the honor given annually to the nation’s most outstanding player. No surprise, then, that of the forty names on the watch list released today, the two names from the Mountain West are the ones you’d probably expect.
A day after being named to the Davey O’Brien Award list, Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien finds himself on the Walter Camp watch list as well. Rypien, of course, was the Mountain West freshman player of the year in 2015, and is just one of six sophomores on this list.
