Of the 14 college football awards that have announced their finalists, only the Doak Walker Award has recognized an ACC player, and that's Clemson running back C.J. Spiller.
The award is presented each season to the top running back in the nation. Spiller is joined by Mark Ingram of Alabama and Toby Gerhart of Stanford. Spiller is the first Clemson running back to be named a finalist for the Doak Walker Award. The last Clemson player to be named a finalist for any award is Gaines Adams, who was a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Award in 2006.
