NationalChamps.net releases 7th annual Underdog Award
GIVEN TO THE NATION'S BEST MID-MAJOR PLAYER

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 seventh 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 presents the five student-athletes on the 2013 UNDERDOG AWARD Finalist List.

The 2013 UNDERDOG AWARD Winner will be presented Friday, December 13.
