Stephen Carr’s star continues to shine this offseason with another spot on a preseason watch list.
The Doak Walker Award named their 2018 watch list on Wednesday as they search for the nation’s best running back. Carr, as expected, made the cut.
Carr was placed on the Maxwell Award Watch List on Monday.
There’s an argument for Carr being on the Walker Watch List simply by virtue of being USC’s projected starting running back for 2018. Watch lists aren’t known for being particularly discerning with dozens of players included each summer.
However, to say Carr only belongs because he’s atop the depth chart at USC overlooks the potential he displayed as a freshman in 2017.
