Tylan Wallace Lands on Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List

Another day, (seemingly) another watch list for Oklahoma State’s dynamic receiver.

Tylan Wallace was named among 47 players (11 from the Big 12) to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award watch list given to the top offensive player in the country.

This award is a little bit niche so I won’t paraphrase:

The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose 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; specifically, tenacity to persist and determination to overcome adversity and injury in pursuit of reaching goals.

To qualify for the award a player must also check at least one of the the following boxes:

Born in Texas: ✅
Went to high school in Texas: ✅
Played at a Texas-based junior or four-year college: ?

Tylan is the only Cowboy on the list but is joined by 10 of his Big 12 colleagues.

Charlie Brewer, Baylor, QB
Kene Nwangwu, Iowa State, RB
Malik Knowles, Kansas State, WR
Charleston Rambo, Oklahoma, WR
Tylan Wallace, Oklahoma State, WR
Taye Barber, TCU, WR
Max Duggan, TCU, QB
Sam Ehlinger, Texas, QB
Alan Bowman, Texas Tech, QB
SaRodorick Thompson, Texas Tech, RB
Jarret Doege, West Virginia, QB

If he stays healthy, Tylan has a good shot to be in the running at the end of the year. He was a finalist for the award last season despite missing the final five games of the year with injury.

Tylan is also on the preseason watch lists for both the Biletnikoff Award (given to college football’s top receiver) and the Maxwell Award (given to CFB’s most outstanding player).
