Over the last few weeks, the CFB Award Season has been gearing up by releasing finalist and semifinalist lists. Here are the G5 players nominated so far.
The big winner is Donnel Pumphrey, the record-breaking running back from San Diego State who is up for the Maxwell and Lombardi Awards. Of course, there’s still the big award that hasn’t announced their finalists, the Heisman, but it seems like Pumphrey has a good shot at picking up some hardware.
