Grand Ledge resident Ashton Delaney, 9, watches senior running back LJ Scott (3) sign his football during the youth clinic on April 7, 2018 at Duffy Daugherty Football Building.
Senior running back LJ Scott made a second award watch list Wednesday morning -- his second in the last three days.
Scott was named on the Doak Walker Award watch list, which is given to the best college running back in the nation at the end of the regular season. This comes after being named on the Maxwell Award list Monday with junior quarterback Brian Lewerke, which is given to the best player in the country.
The semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award will be announced Nov. 10, with three finalists being named Nov. 20. The winner will be announced during the Home Depot College Football Awards Dec. 6 on ESPN.
Scott rushed for 898 yards on a career-high 201 attempts for eight touchdowns, while catching a career-high 20 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown during his junior season in East Lansing. He ranked 11th in the Big Ten in all-purpose yards per game with 87, helping him earn an All-Big Ten honorable mention from the coaches and media.
