Tank Bigbsy named to Doak Walker Award watch list
Tank Bigsby has made his second award watch list of the week.
The junior running back was named to the Doak Walker Award watch list, which is given to the top running back in college football. Bigbsy was added to the Maxwell Award watch list on Monday.
He rushed for 1,099 yards and 10 touchdowns on 223 carries last season and is expected to be the focal point of the offense. Bigsby has worked to improve as a pass catcher this off season and become a more complete player. The 6-foot, 213-pound Bigsby caught 21 passes for 184 yards in 13 games last season.
No Tiger has won the Doak Walker Award since it was created in 1990.
Bigbsy is set to represent Auburn Thursday at SEC Media Days in Atlanta. He will be joined by Derick Hall, John Samuel Shenker, and Bryan Harsin.
