Ryan Nall's Preseason Honors Continue
July 20, 2017 | Football
Oregon State junior running back Ryan Nall continues to compile preseason honors and Thursday he was selected to the prestigious Doak Walker Award Watch list, presented annually to the nation's top running back.
The native of Sandy, Ore., enters the season as one of the top offensive standouts in the Pac-12 Conference with 1,406 career rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, and overall has 1,729 all-purpose yards with 18 scores. His current 6.4 yards per carry average is on school record pace and he already ranks No. 22 at OSU for career rushing yards.
The Central Catholic High School graduate was the Pac-12 Player of the Week after a 155-yard effort with four touchdowns in last season's victory over Oregon. Â The speech communication major has also twice been honored by the Pac-12 for his academic success and is among the team leaders for community service leadership.
Nall, who last week was included in the Maxwell Award Watch List (nation's top player), joins Marcus McMaryion (Wuerffel Trophy), Manase Hungalu (Butkus Award), Sumner Houston (Rimington Trophy) and Nick Porebski (Ray Guy Award), as of Thursday, on watch lists for the 2017 season.Â
Oregon State returns to the practice field next week in preparation for the 2017 football season. Season tickets are available at BeaverTickets.com for the six-game home schedule that includes visits from Portland State, Minnesota, Washington, Colorado, Stanford, and Arizona State.
Fans are invited to join the team in Bend on Friday, August 4 for a scrimmage and Fan Fest at Summit High School. The scrimmage starts at 4:30 p.m. PT, with Fan Fest slated from 6-7:30 p.m. The Fan Fest includes inflatables, autographs and more. Fan Fest is free.
