November 04, 2020 | Football
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State redshirt senior linebacker Andrzej Hughes-Murray has been named to the watch list for the 2020 Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year Award, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced Wednesday in association with the Associated Press and Fiesta Bowl Organization.
Hughes-Murray is one of 53 players from 44 schools nationally on the initial watch list. The Federal Way, Wash., native is attempting to become the second Beaver to win the award, following Jake Luton, who was one of three selections last season.
Hughes-Murray, who was named a team captain for the second consecutive season, missed the entirety of the 2019 season due to injury. Prior to 2019, he had played in 30 career games, making 19 starts. Over that stretch, he recorded 78 tackles with 9.5 tackles for loss with two blocks, a pass deflection and one fumble recovery.
The honor is his second of the year. In October, he was named a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, given annually to the absolute best scholar-athlete for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership.
Hughes-Murray was also a member of the 2019 Pac-12 Fall Academic Honor Roll and was a 2017 and 2018 Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention selection.
