Who has won each of the major college football awards that were announced this week? Let’s take a look at who has taken home the hardware.

The regular season and Championship Week are both over and you know what that means? It’s time to hand out the annual college football awards.

It’s been two years since the awards have followed up a complete season as last year was impacted by COVID-19 and just about every team and player participated in a different number of games. This year, no teams had to cancel due to COVID-19 and the awards are much more telling of who has been the best for the longest.

On Thursday night, ESPN hosted its annual college football awards show, and essentially everything but the Heisman Trophy was announced.

Of course, we’ll have to wait until Saturday night for the Heisman Trophy ceremony and it looks like Bryce Young is the overwhelming favorite to win it.

But the Heisman isn’t the only award that matters.
