There are 52 players on the 2022 Walter Camp Award Watch List released on July 29.
The Walter Camp Award is presented annually to the nation’s best overall player.
There are 44 offensive players (22 quarterbacks, 12 running backs and 10 receivers/tight ends) on the preseason watch list along with eight from the defensive side of the ball.
Players from 40 different schools representing 11 conferences (including independents) are represented on the preseason watch list. Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State each have three players on the watch list, while four schools (Kentucky, USC, Texas, and Iowa State) have two.
Many of the players are featured in the 2022 College Football America Yearbook.
Among the members of the watch list is defending Biletnikoff winner, Jordan Addison, who won the award at Pitt last season and is now at USC.
The College Football America 2022 Yearbook features more than 900 college football teams from the United States and Canada in more than 250 striking, full-color pages. That includes every team from the NCAA (FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III), NAIA, NJCAA, CCCAA and U Sports (Canada). It also includes dozens of action shots and stadium photos taken by the CFA staff.
