For a second straight season, BYU quarterback Taysom Hill is a nominee for the Walter Camp Award, presented annually to college football's most outstanding player.

Hill is among 50 players on the award watch list, which brings to an end two week's worth of nomination releases, as sponsored by the National College Football Awards Association.

*******

The Walter Camp Award nomination is the fourth watch-list recognition for Hill. Defensive lineman Bronson Kaufusi is also on four watch lists, including one for the Allstate/AFCA Good Works Award, a presentation not sponsored by the NCFAA. Center Tejan Koroma and defensive lineman Travis Tuiloma are on two watch lists, while wide receiver Mitch Mathews, offensive lineman Ryker Mathews, linebacker Manoa Pikula and running back Jamaal Williams each appear on single award-nomination rosters.
