COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Football senior RB Russell Hansbrough (Arlington, Texas) has been named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List, announced by the Tyler Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday (Aug. 19). This is the third major award watch list that Hansbrough has landed on after being named to the Maxwell and Doak Walker Award Watch Lists earlier this summer.

The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award is given to 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. Previous winners of the award include Baylor's Bryce Petty (2013) and TCU's Trevone Boykin (2014).

A veteran tailback who has rushed for nearly 2,000 yards in his Mizzou career, Hansbrough is on the Maxwell Award Watch List for the first time in his career. He led Mizzou with his first 1,000-yard season in 2014, totaling 1,084 yards, a mark that ranked sixth in the SEC despite starting just three games – he was also seventh in the SEC in rush yards per game. He was SEC Offensive Player of the Week and National Tailback of the Week following a 199-yard outburst at Texas A&M, the 10th-best single-game rush total in program history.

Hansbrough and the Tigers will hold their second scrimmage of #MIZCamp tomorrow morning on Faurot Field.
