Named after the legendary NFL quarterback Johnny Unitas, the award recognizes excellence in performance, leadership, and character on and off the field. It aims to honor players who exemplify the qualities that Unitas displayed during his career. Established in 1987, the award is determined by a selection committee that evaluates candidates based on their statistics, achievements, and contributions to their teams. The winner is announced at the end of the college football season, celebrating the legacy of Unitas and promoting the importance of sportsmanship in college athletics.
