Maxwell Award
The Maxwell Award is presented annually to the college football player judged by a panel of sportscasters, sportswriters, and National Collegiate Athletic Association head coaches and the membership of the Maxwell Football Club to be the best all-around in the United States.
The award is named after Robert "Tiny" Maxwell, a Swarthmore College football player, coach, and sportswriter. Johnny Lattner (1952, 1953) and Tim Tebow (2007, 2008) are the only players to have won the award twice. Since 2014 (the beginning of the College Football Playoff era), the Maxwell Award winner has gone on to win the Heisman Trophy during the same voting cycle in every year except 2018 (Tua Tagovailoa) and 2023 (Michael Penix Jr.). It is the college equivalent of the Bert Bell Award of the National Football League, also given out by the Maxwell Club.
