The Doak Walker Award named Illinois senior running back Reggie Corbin to its watch list, the award committee announced. It is the second watch list honor for Corbin this year after he was on the Maxwell Award list earlier this week.

The Doak Walker Award

The prestigious Doak Walker Award was created in 1989 to recognize the nation's premier running back for his accomplishments on the field, achievement in the classroom and citizenship in the community. It is the only major collegiate football award that requires all candidates to be in good academic standing and on schedule to graduate within one year of other students of the same classification.
