The Walter Camp Football Foundation has announced the names of forty-five “players to watch” for its 2025 Player of the Year award, the nation’s fourth-oldest individual college football accolade, and presented by Crabtree Lexus of New Haven.
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.
“We are proud to continue the great work of Walter Camp and recognize the best college football players in the nation,” Foundation president John Barbarotta said. “This watch list is a great start to what is shaping up to be another exciting year of college football.”
Former Colorado wide receiver/defensive back and current Jacksonville Jaguar Travis Hunter was the 2024 Walter Camp Player of the Year. Hunter was also the first player to be named a Walter Camp First Team All-American on both sides of the ball.
The 2025 Player of Year watch list will be narrowed to 10 semi-finalists in early November, and three finalists will be announced in early December. The 2025 Walter Camp Player of the Year recipient, which is voted on by the 133 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors, will be announced on ESPN’s College Football Awards Show on December 12.
Earlier this summer, the Foundation announced its 2025 preseason All-American teams. Walter Camp is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious collegiate football All-America team and was first selected in 1889.
Please note: Appearing on the preseason Watch List is not a requirement for a player to win the Walter Camp award or be named to the All-America team.
