Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, Alabama Defense Dominate College Football Awards

Heisman candidates Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson—along with the Alabama defense—were this year’s big winners in the College Football Awards.

Jackson, the Heisman favorite, walked away with the Maxwell Award (Outstanding Player) and Walter Camp Award (Player of the Year). The sophomore has racked up over 4,900 total yards and an ACC-record 51 touchdowns this season. However, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson is still very much in the mix after taking home the Davey O’Brien Award (Outstanding Quarterback) and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award (Outstanding Senior Quarterback). Watson is a Heisman finalist for the second straight year and is just the fourth quarterback to repeat as an O’Brien Award winner.

On the other side of the ball, Alabama’s nation-leading defense dominated the awards, with defensive end Jonathan Allen taking home the Bednarik and Nagurski Awards (Defensive Player of the Year) along with the Ted Hendricks Award (Outstanding Defensive End). The Crimson Tide's Reuben Foster also took home the Dick Butkus Award for the top linebacker.

The Heisman Trophy will be announced Saturday, December 10th. Below is a list of all of this year’s other major college award winners.
