When Tyrell Fenroy heard the news, he savored the moment.
UL's senior running back learned early last week that he was one of 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award. Every year, the award is given to the nation's top running back.
Other semifinalists include UConn's Donald Brown, Alabama's Glen Coffee, Iowa's Shonn Greene, Oklahoma State's Kendall Hunter, Pitt's LeSean McCoy, Georgia's Knowshon Moreno, Michigan State's Javon Ringer, Oregon State's Jacquizz Rodgers and Penn State's Evan Royster.
Fenroy was the lone semifinalist from outside the six major BCS conferences.
