In
an effort to bring media attention to those
players from smaller schools that are too
often overlooked for the HEISMAN and other
major awards, NationalChamps.net presents
our fifth annual UNDERDOG AWARD to recognize
the best FBS Mid-Major player in the nation.
In evaluating the rich talent found throughout
the schools not aligned in BCS conferences,
our commitment to finding overall excellence
in college football remains at the forefront
of our efforts.
The
players listed below have excelled and further
stand out from the many great Mid-Major
players found throughout the college football
landscape. NationalChamps.net initially
chose 36 for our 2011 UNDERDOG AWARD Preseason
Watch List, which was primarily based upon
those players’ 2010 performances.
Now, we present the four student-athletes
for our 2011 UNDERDOG AWARD Finalists. These
candidates have separated themselves from
all others and stand out as the best 2011
Mid-Major players.
The
2011 UNDERDOG AWARD Winner will be presented
Thursday December 8th.
