SOUTHAMPTON, Pa. –– University of Tulsa senior D'Angelo Brewer was named to the 2017 Maxwell Award Watch List as one of the nation's top collegiate football players, it was announced today by the Maxwell Football Club.
The Maxwell Award, named in honor of Robert W. "Tiny" Maxwell, has been given to America's College Player of the Year since 1937. Maxwell's contributions to the game of football were extensive, including time as a player, a sportswriter and an official. Returning Maxwell Award winner Lamar Jackson (Louisville) headlines the 2017 watch list class.
Brewer, a 5'9" running back from Tulsa's Central High School, returns as the American Athletic Conference's top rusher from a year ago. With his 1,435 rushing yards in 2016, Brewer was second on the league's rushing list behind teammate James Flanders. Brewer and Flanders became only the second Tulsa running duo in school history to each rush for over 1,000 yards in the same season.
A second-team all-conference selection a year ago, Brewer has rushed for 2,400 yards and 14 touchdowns in his career to rank ninth on the school's all-time rushing chart. He enters the 2017 season needing 1,251 yards to tie Tarrion Adams (2005-08) for the school's all-time rushing record.
Last year, Brewer became part of NCAA history when he and his teammates became the first to have a 3,000-yard passer (Dane Evans), two 1,000-yard rushers (Brewer and James Flanders) and two 1,000-yard receivers (Josh Atkinson and Keevan Lucas).
