Banner season for Doctson keeps piling up awards, hopefully a bowl
On Thursday Josh Doctson might find out if his ailing wrist is healthy enough for him to play in the Alamo Bowl against Oregon on Jan. 2.
If he can't play, it will be about the only thing this season he didn't accomplish. TCU's 6-foot-3 star wide receiver is expected to have the cast removed from his left wrist and after an exam by a specialist, Doctson will know if he has one last college football game left to play before heading to the NFL as a possible first-round pick.
“It’s the last game of my college career ever,” Doctson told reporters last week at the college football awards show in Atlanta where he was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award. “It’s important for me to get back out there with my teammates.”
Baylor star receiver Corey Coleman, who has declared for the 2016 NFL Draft, won the Biletnikoff Award honoring college football's most outstanding receiver.
Doctson on Tuesday was named to his sixth All-American team this season, adding a selection by Sporting News to the Football Writers Association of America, Associated Press, Walter Camp, USA Today and SI.com.
He suffered the wrist injury early against Oklahoma State on Nov. 7 and he wasn't able to return to the 49-29 loss. He had just one catch the next week against Kansas and then missed the Oklahoma and Baylor games. Still, Doctson ranked fourth in the country in touchdown catches and sixth in receiving yards. His 79 catches for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns are all single-season school records.
Not bad for a player who went to high school just down the road from TCU in Mansfield, but had to go to Wyoming when the Horned Frogs didn't offer him a scholarship. Doctson would later transfer to TCU, where his mother works, and walk-on the football team.
Now he is set to leave -- with hopefully one last game to play -- as one of the program's all-time great receivers.
