Hill Named to Walter Camp Award Watch List
July 27, 2018 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State football standout Justice Hill added another preseason accolade to his resume Friday, as the Walter Camp Football Foundation named him to the "players to watch" for its 2018 Player of the Year award.
Hill, who has already been named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Football Team, Maxwell Award watch list and Doak Walker Award watch list, is one of fifty players on the Walter Camp list, as well as one of just 15 running backs.
A junior out of Tulsa, Hill enters the season ranked seventh among active players and first among juniors who play in Power Five conferences with 2,609 career rushing yards. His 14 career 100-yard rushing games ties for third among all active FBS players returning in 2018 and is second among running backs from the Power Five conferences. Hill was one of 11 national semifinalists for the 2017 Doak Walker Award and led the Big 12 by a wide margin last season with 1,467 rushing yards.
The watch list for the 2018 Walter Camp Player of the Year Award will be narrowed to 10 semi-finalists in mid-November. The recipient, which is voted on by the 129 NCAA Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors, will be announced live on ESPN on Dec. 6. The winner will receive his trophy at the Walter Camp Football Foundation's annual national awards banquet on Jan. 12, 2019 in New Haven, Conn.
The Cowboys open the 2018 season Thursday, Aug. 30, when they host Missouri State at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater with kickoff set for 7 p.m. on FS1.
Season tickets and single game tickets are available at www.okstate.com/tickets or by calling the OSU ticket office at 877-ALL-4-OSU.
