The Ted Hendricks Award is now in its ninth season. The award is named in honor of former University of Miami defensive lineman Ted Hendricks, college football’s first three-time first-team All-American.
On-field performance, exceptional winning attitude, leadership abilities, contributions to school and community and academic preparedness are some of the criteria used to determine the award’s winner. Members of the national media, head coaches, professional scouts and former winners are included in the award’s voting committee. Candidates may represent any class (freshman through senior) as well as any four-year NCAA-accredited school. The candidate’s primary position must be defensive end.
The watch list is subject to change until the final mid-season watch list is issued in November. Players may be added or deleted, depending on performance, injury, etc. The 2010 winner will be announced on December 8.
