University of Louisville running back Isaac Brown was named to the Walter Camp 2025 Player of the Year Watch List, the nation’s fourth-oldest individual college

football accolade and presented by Crabtree Lexus of New Haven.

One of 45 players on the list, Brown rushed for 1,173 yards and 11 touchdowns as a true freshman last season and was awarded with the Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie and Offensive Rookie of the Year Awards. The native of Miami, Fla., recorded five 100-yard rushing games, including a career high 178 yards in a win over Kentucky to close the season.

Brown earned second team All-ACC honors and was named to numerous freshman All-American teams. He broke the school record for rushing yards by a freshman and was the first true freshman to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season.

The 2025 watch list includes 38 offensive players (21 quarterbacks, 11 running backs, five receivers/tight ends and one two-way player) along with eight from the defensive side of the

ball.

Players from 37 different schools representing 11 conferences (including independents) are represented on the preseason watch list.

Texas has three players on the watch list, while six schools (Arizona State, Clemson, Ohio State, Penn State, South Carolina and Vanderbilt) each have two.
