San Diego State running back Lucky Sutton and kicker Gabe Plascencia were both named Tuesday as semifinalists for national awards at their respective positions.

Sutton, a junior from Cathedral Catholic High School, is among 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award, which goes to the nation’s top running back. Plascencia, a senior from Oakland, is one of 20 semifinalists for the Lou Groza Award that is given to the top kicker in the country.

Sutton is SDSU’s first semifinalist for the Doak Walker since 2017, when Rashaad Penny rushed for a school-record 2,248 yards. The Aztecs have had three finalists for the award — DJ Pumphrey (2016), George Jones (1995) and Marshall Faulk (1992).

Sutton rushed for 150 yards in last week’s win over Boise State, giving him 1,048 yards for the season.
