Doak Walker Award
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
- 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.
