Ball State running back Jahwan Edwards has been named to the Doak Walker Award Watch List for the second consecutive season. 

The award is given to the most outstanding running back in college football as determined by the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee. 

As a junior last season, Edwards scored 14 touchdowns and rushed for 1,110 yards on 212 attempts. He is the fourth leading rusher in program history with 3,306 yards and needs 697 more rushing yards to become the school’s leader in rushing yards. 

With the departures of quarterback Keith Wenning and wide receiver Willie Snead to the NFL, Edwards should see an increase in his workload as the Cardinals will look to protect the new quarterback with the run.
