For the first time in his career University of Wyoming senior running back Shaun Wick was selected to the 2015 Doak Walker Award Watch List.

Wick averaged 5.98 yards per carry last season and ran for 753 total yards despite missing three games with a hand injury. He recorded four 100-yard rushing games, which included a season-high 134 versus Montana.

He has amassed 2,082 career rushing yards and 19 career rushing touchdowns. Wick's best single-game rushing performance came against San Jose State in 2013, when he ran for 234 yards. That's the third best total in Cowboy football history.

The Doak Walker award is presented annually to the top running back in the nation. The winner will be announced on December 10, 2015.
