Gabbert Listed on Walter Camp Watch List
7/29/2022 9:59:00 AM | Football
Junior starting quarterback Brett Gabbert was named one of 50 "players to watch" for this year's Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, the nation's fourth-oldest individual college football accolade. This is Gabbert's third preseason honor, also being named to the Maxwell Award and Davey O'Brien Watch Lists.
Last season Gabbert earned third-team All-MAC accolades, throwing for 2,648 yards and 26 touchdowns in 10 starts. The junior, who was also named Academic All-MAC, threw just six interceptions in 299 attempts.
Â
He recorded 492 passing yards (third-most in school history) to go along with five touchdowns at Ohio and finished with 351 passing yards and four scores in a win over Buffalo. His 843 passing yards in consecutive games was the most in a two-game span in program history.
Â
With two years of eligibility remaining, Gabbert ranks in the top 10 in five different passing categories in Miami history: completions (376, 9th), attempts (650, 9th), passing yards (5,443, 7th), completion percentage (.579, 7th) and touchdown passes (41, 7th).
The 2022 watch list will be narrowed to 10 semi-finalists in mid-November. The 2022 Walter Camp Player of the Year recipient, which is voted on by the 130 NCAA Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors, will be announced on ESPN's College Football Awards Show (date TBD).
The winner will then receive his trophy at the Foundation's 55th annual national awards banquet in New Haven, Conn in early 2023.
Walter Camp, "The Father of American football," first selected an All-America team in 1889. Camp – a former Yale University athlete and football coach – is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side. The Walter Camp Football Foundation (www.waltercamp.org) – a New Haven-based all-volunteer group – was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-America team.
The Walter Camp Foundation is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA), which encompasses the most prestigious awards in college football. Founded in 1997, the NCFAA and its 25 awards now boast over 800 recipients, dating to 1935.
