Kyler Murray wins the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award

Oklahoma's QB becomes the 2nd straight Heisman Trophy winner to win the Earl Campbell Award

TYLER, Texas — This is the 6th year of the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award. Last year, history was made as Baker Mayfield became the first reigning Heisman Trophy winner to win this award.

This year...history repeated itself.

On Wednesday night, Kyler Murray was announced as the winner of this year's award. 

Murray just capped off a remarkable season for OU, where he put up some great numbers and broke Mayfield's school record for total yards in a season.

And he says it feels great to join this exclusive club.

Murray says, "It's a high honor, it takes a lot of hard work to be mentioned with these guys. This is another huge thing I can add to the accolades."

Obviously, Earl Campbell keeps up with these players throughout the year. And he was incredibly impressed with what Murray was able to do.

Campbell says, "He had to wait all those years for his turn...once he got his opportunity, he took advantage of it and I think he's going to do great things in sports, whether it's baseball or football."
