STILLWATER – Oklahoma State wide receiver Tylan Wallace is one of 13 semifinalists for The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, SPORTyler announced Friday.

Wallace, a sophomore, makes his first appearance as a semifinalist for the honor, and Cowboy receiver James Washington was a finalist for the award last season.

(222 yards, 10 rec., 2 TD vs. No. 6 Texas and 220 yards, 10 rec., 2 TD at No. 6 Oklahoma).
