Temple’s Armstead Named to Doak Walker Watch List
PHILADELPHIA - The PwC SMU Athletic Forum released today the preseason candidates for the 2018 Doak Walker Award. Temple senior running back Ryquell Armstead was among the 62 names, but only one of three from the American Athletic Conference. The Forum annually presents the award to the nation's top college running back.
In 2017, Armstead rushed for 604 yards and five rushing touchdowns. The Millville, N.J., native is climbing up the Temple all-time rushing leaderboard, with 1,714 rushing yards and 21 rushing touchdowns in his career. He's on pace to become the ninth Owl to rush for more than 2,000 yards and could set the program record for most career rushing touchdowns.
