Another Nebraska football player enters the 2024 season on the awards watch list. Senior wide receiver Isaiah Neyor was selected to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List Wednesday.
Named after Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell, the award recognizes the top offensive player in Division I football who also exhibits the enduring characteristics that define Earl Campbell: integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community, and tenacity.
In addition, the nominee must have been born in Texas, graduated from a Texas High School, played at a Texas-based junior college, or currently plays at a Texas D1 four-year college.
Neyor is a Fort Worth, Texas native and transferred to Nebraska following two years with Texas. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound wide receiver joined the Longhorns following his 2021 season at Wyoming.
In 2021, Neyor finished second-team All-Mountain West, hauling 44 passes for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns. He led the Mountain West in both touchdown catches and yards per catch, averaging just under 20 yards. He also played in all six games for Wyoming in 2020, finishing with eight catches for 248 yards.
Neyor battled injuries and played in just one game at Texas. He played in Texas’ season opener against Rice in 2023 and had one catch for 14 yards.
The award’s semifinalist will be announced on Nov. 21. The finalist will be announced on Dec. 17. The winner will then be announced on Jan. 22.
