Anderson, Reagor on Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List

TYLER, Texas -- TCU running back Darius Anderson and wide receiver Jalen Reagor have been named to the watch list for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award.

The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award is presented annually to the nation's top player who was either born in Texas, graduated from a state high school or plays at a Texas-based university.

Reagor's team-best 72 receptions and 1,061 yards receiving in 2018 both rank second for a season in TCU history. Forty-four of his 72 catches (61.1 percent) went for a first down or touchdown. The second-team All-Big 12 selection led TCU and the Big 12 in percentage of his team's receptions at 30.1 (72-of-239), the highest mark by a Horned Frog in the 18-season tenure of head coach Gary Patterson. Reagor's team-best nine touchdown catches tied for the fifth-best season total by a Horned Frog. He set a TCU record with seven consecutive games with a scoring grab.

Reagor became the first wide receiver in TCU and Big 12 history to top 100 yards rushing (121) and 90 receiving (91) in the 31-24 victory over Oklahoma State. He was the sixth FBS player since 1996 to accomplish the feat and the first Power Five wide receiver since Dexter McCluster for Ole Miss in 2009.

The junior from Waxahachie, Texas, also averaged 30.3 yards on kickoff returns and 12.1 on punt returns.

In voting by his teammates, Reagor was selected as TCU's 2018 Dan Rogers Most Valuable Player. He became the first wide receiver to receive the award since Cory Rodgers in 2004.

Reagor, on the Preseason All-Big 12 team, has also been selected to watch lists for the Maxwell Award, Biletnikoff Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year Award and Hornung Award. He has been tabbed the state's best receiver by Dave Campbell's Texas Football.

Anderson has rushed for 1,595 yards and 12 touchdowns in his TCU career. His 5.7 per carry average ranks sixth in TCU history, just behind Pro Football Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson who's fifth at 5.8.

A senior from Richmond, Texas, Anderson rushed for 598 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games last season. His 154 yards on 12 carries against Ohio State marked the second-best total of his career and his fourth 100-yard effort. His 93-yard scoring run against the Buckeyes was the longest rushing play in TCU history, bettering the previous mark of 89 yards by Tomlinson versus UTEP in 2000 and San Jose State in 1999. It tied for the fourth-longest play from scrimmage at TCU and was the longest play allowed by Ohio State in its history.

Anderson was on pace for a 1,000-yard season as a sophomore in 2017, before being sidelined for the season by injury. He had a team-high 768 yards and eight touchdowns. He was the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for 160 yards and three touchdowns, as well as totaling a career-high four receptions, in a 44-31 win at No. 6 Oklahoma State. He also ran for 106 and 99 yards in victories over Arkansas and Texas, respectively.

Anderson is also on the Doak Walker Award Watch List.

Former TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin was the 2014 recipient of the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award.
