NEW HAVEN, Conn. – NM State running back has been named as one of the forty "players to watch" for the Walter Camp Football Foundation's 2016 Player of the Year award, announced the foundation on Friday. The Walter Camp Award is the nation's fourth oldest individual college football accolade.
After leading the Sun Belt Conference with 1,651 rushing yards on 240 carries and being named the SBC's Offensive Player of the Year, Rose III was named to the Associated Press All-America Third Team. The sophomore was the only SBC student-athlete chosen for this honor following the 2015 season and was the first Aggie to be selected since Karl Dean, who earned Third Team in both 1974 and 1975.
