Kyle Trask earns Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award after outstanding 2020 season
Every year, the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award is given to the “nation’s outstanding Division I college offensive player who meets one or more of the following criteria: 1. Born in Texas; 2. Graduated from a Texas high school; or 3. Played at a Texas-based junior college or four-year college,” per the award’s website.
Florida QB Kyle Trask fits the first 2 of those requirements, having been raised in Manvel, Texas, and attending Manvel High School, where he served as backup to current Miami QB D’Eriq King.
On Thursday, he was announced as the winner of the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award:

It’s no surprise, as he led the FBS level in passing yards and passing touchdowns while leading the Gators to an 8-4 overall record.
Trask joins previous winners like Ohio State QB J.K. Dobbins (2019), Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray (2018), Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield (2017) and others.
Congrats, Kyle Trask. A much deserved honor.
Apparently he didn’t win the Emmitt Smith award: “Emmitt Smith rips ‘ultra-sensitive’ Florida football players: ‘Guys are getting away with mediocracy'”.
cant you just be happy for the guy. He was a good player
I’m happy for the kid. He seems like a good kid who persevered and it paid off for him. My post is for the Gaturd fans. If they have a problem with it they should put a tweet out to Emmitt. He’s the one that said it.
Emmitt was referring to the defense specifically, not the offense, as well as the whole country.
“To be honest with you, I think our defense definitely needs to improve,” Smith told Andersen. “There’s not an offensive issue, it’s been a defensive issue. The problem that I’m having with football today is, it’s been watered down, and guys are getting away with mediocracy. Kids don’t know how to tackle, they don’t know how to work, and the whole entire country has become ultra-sensitive.”
Dawgb Emmitt was calling everyone in the Country out for being ultra sensitive. Either you’re too stupid to know that or…..yea thats it.
Congrats Kyle, well earned honor. Glad you are from Texas…
Mac Jones must not be from Texas…
