As the college football season begins its end, award season is just beginning.
Both CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Hurts have been named semifinalists for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award. The award is given to the best offensive talent in Division I football from the state of Texas that also exemplifies the characteristics of Texas Longhorn and NFL legend, Earl Campbell.
Both Lamb and Hurts have quite the list of awards and watch lists between them already.
Lamb was a consensus midseason first-team All-American and is a semifinalist for both the Biletnikoff (best wide receiver) and the Maxwell Award (best all around player).
Hurts finds himself in the race for the Heisman Trophy, a semifinalist for both the Maxwell Award and the Davey O’Brien Trophy (best quarterback), as well as well as the CLASS award (best senior student-athlete). Adding the Earl Campbell Tyler rose Award would add to an already rewarding collegiate career.
Past Sooners to win the Campbell Award include Kyler Murray (2018) and Baker Mayfield (2017). Oklahoma has also produced at least one finalist for the award all but the first year of the award in 2013.
