Texas football saw four players land on this year\u2019s Walter Camp Player of the Year Award watch list, the award committee announced earlier this week. That includes quarterback Arch Manning, wide receiver Cam Coleman, edge rusher Colin Simmons, and linebacker Rasheem Biles. The award is given to the top player in college football each season. According to Texas Athletics<\/a>, \u201cIt has been awarded to a Longhorn on three occasions (Ricky Williams, 1998; Colt McCoy, 2008 and 2009). Recently, Texas had back-to-back semifinalists for the award after former UT quarterback Quinn Ewers was named one in 2024 following defensive lineman T\u2019Vondre Sweat in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n
