    Scott is coming off a junior season where he rushed for 1,174 yards, which ranked fifth nationally, while tallying a Southeastern Conference-best 18 rushing touchdowns. He became the 12th 100-yard rusher in history and his average of 5.4 yards per carry was the third-highest among all running backs in school history.
    Scott, a preseason first-team All-SEC selection, heads into 2009 with 1,775 career rushing yards and 28 touchdowns. He ranks sixth in school history in career touchdowns and is only one score away from breaking into the top five of that category.
    Scott is one of four SEC running backs on the list joining Arkansas’ Michael Smith, Alabama’s Mark Ingram and Jeff Demps of Florida.
    The Guaranty Bank SMU Athletic Forum Board of Directors will select the semifinalists on Nov. 11, and the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee will cast votes to determine the finalists, who will be announced on Nov. 23.
    The committee will cast a second vote beginning on Nov. 30 to determine the recipient. The National Selection Committee consists of former NFL All-Pro and college All-America running backs, media members and selected special representatives.
    The recipient of the 2009 Doak Walker Award will be announced live on ESPN on The Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards on Thursday, Dec. 10. The Doak Walker Award Presentation Banquet will be held at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Texas, on Friday, Feb. 19, 2010.
    The award, in its 20th year, 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.
