Alabama junior running back Mark Ingram is one of 10 semifinalists for the 2010 Doak Walker Award, presented annually to the nation’s top running back, the SMU Athletic Forum Board of Directors announced Thursday.

Ingram, who was a finalist for the award last season, is the only back representing the Southeastern Conference. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner has rushed for a team-high 641 yards on 106 carries and scored nine touchdowns after missing the first two games of the season to injury. He is averaging 6.0 yards per carry and 91.6 yards on the ground per game.

Ingram currently ranks fourth all-time in school history with 3,027 rushing yards and is second in rushing touchdowns with 38. His 12 career 100-yard rushing games are tied for third at the Capstone.

The 175 members of the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee will cast their votes to determine the 2010 finalists. On Monday, Nov. 22, three finalists will be named live on ESPNU, and a second vote by the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee will determine the recipient. The 2010 Doak Walker Award recipient will be announced live on The Home Depot College Football Awards on Thursday, Dec. 9, on ESPN.
