This Award was created in 1935 by the Downtown Athletic Club and was initially only for players from the east. Its first winner Jay Berwanger played halfback for Chicago and Paul Hornung was the only player to win it after a losing season. No one ever won the voting for this award by a larger margin than Troy Smith did in 2006, and sports journalists get most of the votes. Charles Woodson is the only primarily defensive player to win this award, winning over Peyton Manning. For ten points, name this award, most recently given to Derick Henry, given to the most outstanding college football player each year.
