As Corey Clement looks to carry the torch for Wisconsin’s running game in 2015, he’ll also seek to carry on the Badgers’ tradition of taking home the Doak Walker Award.
Clement was named Thursday to the preseason watch list for the honor, which is presented annually to the nation’s top running back. He doesn’t have to look far for an example of what it takes to win, either. Former UW teammate Melvin Gordon claimed the Doak Walker Award last season while rushing for 2,587 yards and scoring 32 total touchdowns.
