Green Named to Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green has been named to the 2025 Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List, the Tyler Chamber of Commerce and SPORTyler announced on Wednesday.
The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award recognizes the top offensive player in Division I football who also meets one or more of the following criteria: born in Texas and/or graduated from a Texas High School and/or played at a Texas-based junior college or current playing at a Texas Division I four-year college.
The Lewisville, Texas native looks to build upon an impressive 2024 campaign that saw him accumulate 3,756 (602 rushing, 3,154 passing, 23 TD) yards of total offense, good for the second-most in a single season in program history behind only Ryan Mallett’s school-record mark of 3,795 while recording just the seventh 3,000-yard passing season in program history. He finished the 2024 season ranked 13th nationally in total offense per game (288.9), 14th nationally in passing yards per completion (13.71) and 21st nationally in total passing yards (3,154).
Green was named Liberty Bowl MVP after completing 11-21 passes for an Arkansas bowl record 341 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown in a 39-26 win over Texas Tech, becoming the first Arkansas passer to eclipse the 300-yard mark in a bowl game since 2016. Green threw for over 300 yards in three games during the 2024 season, highlighted by a career-high 416 yards at Oklahoma State on Sept. 7.
Entering the 2025 season, Green and Oklahoma’s John Mateer are the only returning quarterbacks nationally to pass for over 3,000 yards and rush for over 600 yards in 2024. Green is also one of 10 FBS quarterbacks entering the 2025 season who have thrown for 4,000+ yards and rushed for 1,000+ yards in their FBS career. His 8,576 combined career passing and rushing yards rank third nationally and lead all FBS players with five or fewer seasons of eligibility entering the 2025 season.
The honor is one of many entering the 2025 season for Green. He was previously selected to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Watch List (Aug. 19), Manning Award Watch List (Aug. 14), Davey O’Brien Award Watch List (Aug. 7), and the Maxwell Award Watch List (July 28).
The award is named in honor of Earl Campbell, who graduated from John Tyler High School in Tyler, Texas, before playing at Texas. In his senior season, Campbell led the nation with 1,744 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns, becoming Texas’ first Heisman Trophy winner. He was drafted by the Houston Oilers, where he earned Rookie of the Year honors in 1978 and went on to lead the NFL in rushing three times. Campbell earned NFL MVP in 1979 and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1991.
Head Coach Sam Pittman and the Hogs opened preseason practice on Aug. 1 with the first of 25 practices leading into the season opener. The Razorbacks kick off the 2025 season on Saturday, Aug. 30, when they welcome Alabama A&M to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium for a 3:15 p.m. matchup on SEC Network.
