HOUSTON – Houston Football senior running back Mulbah Car has been named to the 2021 Doak Walker Award Watch List, the PwC SMU Athletic Forum announced on Wednesday.
Entering his sixth season at Houston, Car has rushed for 1,486 yards and 12 touchdowns in 41 career games. The Austin, Texas, native recorded 206 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a shortened 2020 season.
Car enjoyed his best season in 2019, finishing with 59 carries for 375 rushing yards and three touchdowns in just four games.
The PwC SMU Athletic Forum Board of Directors will name ten semifinalists in November, and three finalists, as voted on by the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee, will be announced in November. The committee will cast a second vote in December to determine the recipient. The National Selection Committee consists of past recipients, former NFL All-Pro and college All-America running backs, media members and selected special representatives.
The recipient of the 2021 Doak Walker Award will be announced live on The Home Depot College Football Awards.
The award is named for SMU's three-time All-America running back Doak Walker. It is the only major collegiate award that requires all candidates to be in good academic standing and on schedule to graduate within one year of other students of the same classification.
The Cougars return 17 starters from last year's squad and open the 2021 season on Sept. 4 inside NRG Stadium for the Texas Kickoff against Texas Tech.
