Episode Details

SMU’s Kendrick Raphael is heating up the college football scene, earning a spot on the Doak Walker Award Preseason Watch List — a major honor for the nation’s top running backs. After an explosive 2024 season where he led the ACC in rushing touchdowns (13), total TDs (14), and racked up over 900 rushing yards and 1,000 all-purpose yards, Raphael’s name is now in the mix for one of college football’s most prestigious individual awards. Named after SMU legend Doak Walker, the award narrows to 10 semifinalists in November and three finalists by December, with the winner crowned at The Home Depot College Football Awards. Raphael’s momentum is building — and this could be his year to shine.
