HOUSTON — Senior wide receiver Bradley Rozner was named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List, announced Tuesday afternoon.
Rozner missed the final 11 games after getting injured in the season-opener at Arkansas. He looks to return after also sitting out the 2020 campaign due to an injury. In 2019, he led the Owls with 770 yards receiving and five touchdown receptions. Both totals were the most for a first-year Owl since 1951 (first year for stats in media guides). He registered four games with over 100 yards receiving, second most in Conference USA and the most by an Owl since Jordan Taylor had four in 2014.
The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award recognizes the top offensive player in Division I football who also exhibits the enduring characteristics that define Earl Campbell: integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community, and tenacity; specifically, tenacity to persist and determination to overcome adversity and injury in pursuit of reaching goals. In addition, the nominee must meet one or more of the following criteria: born in Texas and/or graduated from a Texas High School and/or played at a Texas-based junior college or currently playing at Texas DI four-year college.
The Watch List will be narrowed to up to 16 semifinalists in November and then up to five finalists in December. They will be selected by broadcasters, commentators, journalists, fans, and previous winners. The finalists will be brought to Tyler for The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Banquet scheduled for January 11, 2023.
The Conference USA slate opens on Saturday, Aug. 27, and the Owls open play the following weekend on the road at USC. The league's 18th Conference USA Football Championship Game is scheduled for December 2.
