Polk Tabbed To Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List
August 17, 2023 | Football
Washington wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk has been named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award watch list.
Polk, a native of Lufkin, Texas, was named a freshman all-america third team selection after playing in all 13 games for the Huskies last season with 694 yards. In Washington's win over No. 11 Michigan State Polk recorded six catches for 153 yards and three touchdowns on his way to being honored as the Pac-12 freshman of the week and the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award player of the week.
The award, which is named after 1977 Heisman Trophy winner Campbell, is given annually to the top offensive player in the FBS who also exhibits the enduring characteristics that define Campbell – integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community and tenacity. In addition, it is limited to players who were born in the state of Texas, attended a high school in Texas and/or attended a Texas junior college or university.
The watch list announced today will be narrowed to up to 16 semifinalists in November and then up to 5 finalists in Decembers. They will be selected by broadcasters, commentators, journalists, fans and previous winners. The finalists will be brought to Tyler for The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Banquet scheduled for Jan. 10, 2024.
