AUSTIN, Texas – No. 1 Texas Football's CJ Baxter and Quintrevion Wisner were selected to the preseason watch list for the Doak Walker Award, the PwC SMU Athletic Forum announced Tuesday. The award is presented annually to the nation's most outstanding college running back.
Baxter has earned a spot on the watch list for the second-consecutive season. Baxter and Wisner look to join a prestigious quartet of Longhorns who have won the Doak Walker Award, which began in 1990. Ricky Williams was a two-time winner, bringing home the trophy in 1997 and 1998, while Cedric Benson collected it in 2004, D'Onta Foreman won the honor in 2016, and Bijan Robinson earned it 2022.
