NOTRE DAME, Indiana — Adding to his growing list of accolades, Notre Dame graduate student quarterback Ian Book has been named a semifinalist for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, honoring the nation’s top college football player. Book is one of 20 semifinalists, and just eight quarterbacks, on the list.

Book has led the Irish to a perfect 10-0 record in 2020, becoming the all-time winningest quarterback in Notre Dame history. He boasts a 30-3 (.909) record as a starter, and Book is one of just two FBS quarterbacks with a win rate above .900, even as Book ranks 11th overall in total QB career starts (33). His 30 wins are third among all FBS quarterbacks. He has completed 181 passes for 2,382 yards and 15 touchdowns, with just two interceptions in 2020, and has rushed for 465 yards and eight touchdowns on the season. He ranks third among all Power 5 quarterbacks in season rushing touchdowns.

Book, a rare two-time team captain, is the only Power 5 quarterback with more than 240 pass attempts and only two interceptions (or fewer). Book owns 286 attempts with just two picks, and capped the longest streak of passing attempts without an interception in program history at 266 (beginning mid-Game One vs. Duke and ending mid-Game 10 vs. Syracuse), which was the longest-active streak in the FBS. 

The graduate student has garnered a number of national accolades this season. He has been named a finalist for the Manning Award, Unitas Golden Arm Award, Senior CLASS Award and Pop Warner National College Football Award, and a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award and Davey O’Brien Award. Book was named Manning Award Quarterback of the Week vs. Syracuse, and has been named to the Davey O’Brien Great 8 list four times. Book also earned ACC Quarterback of the Week following the Pitt game and Manning Award Star of the Week following the Boston College game. 

Five finalists for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award will be announced December 28, and the winner announced on January 7.
