The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List was announced on Wednesday and included Florida football tight end [autotag]Hayden Hansen[/autotag].
The redshirt sophomore out of Weatherford, Texas, earned the nod having played football and graduating from a Texas high school. The other route onto the list would be by currently playing at Texas D1 four-year college — or both.
Hansen appeared in all 12 games for the Gators last season earning nine starts while amassing 12 receptions for 150 yards, including two touchdowns. He scored his first collegiate touchdown against the Kentucky Wildcats and hauled in his season-longest catch for 38 yards against the Missouri Tigers.
