Each year, the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award winner is given to the top Division I offensive football player who was born in Texas, played high school football in Texas or suited up for a Texas college or university.
McCown earned honorable mention attention alongside Texas native, former University of the Incarnate Word quarterback and current University of Miami (Florida) star Cam Ward.
