Named after the SMU and Detroit Lions football player Doak Walker, the Doak Walker Award, first awarded in 1990, honors the nation's top college football running back. This award is unique among college football awards in that it requires all candidates to be:
- in good academic standing, and
- on schedule to graduate within one year of students in their eligibility classification.
The award recipient receives a sculpture of Doak Walker, cast in bronze and mounted on a wooden base. It was created by artist J. Blair Buswell of Provo, Utah, a former running back at Brigham Young University who has sculpted the busts of more than a dozen inductees in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
