ESPN hosted its 31st annual Home Depot College Football Awards on Thursday night with many of the top awards in college football be handed out to the most outstanding players across the nation.
Throughout the night, Alabama’s Bryce Young, Georgia’s Jordan Davis, and Michigan State’s Kenneth Walker III were the big winners on the night with two awards apiece.
Young, who is a Heisman Trophy finalist and the clear front-runner to take home Saturday’s award, picked up the biggest honor of the night with the Maxwell Award while adding the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award.
Pitt star wide receiver Jordan Addison also made a splash as the Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation’s top wide receiver.
