2026 Doak Walker Award College Football Odds

NCAA Football

The 2026 Doak Walker Award race features 62 running backs, giving bettors a deep futures market to track. The ACC leads with 12 candidates, while Liberty remarkably lands three names: Kam Davis, Peyton Jones and Kayne Udoh. Returning winner Jeremiyah Love remains the benchmark, but with this much talent on the board, value could emerge quickly.

The Doak Walker Award annually honors college football’s top running back and is named after SMU legend and 1948 Heisman Trophy winner Doak Walker.
