HBCU Gameday will announce our 2017 National Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year this weekend, prior to the Celebration Bowl. Our partners at Protect Your Skull are the official sponsors of these awards.
When deciding this award, the performance of players from all divisions of Black College Football will be taken into consideration. In addition to providing a glass sculpted trophy to each winner, Protect Your Skull will make a financial contribution to each winner’s school. Each school will receive a $500 donation made payable to its athletic scholarship fund.

This is for all the HBCU legends that came before us and our goal is to endorse HBCU sports at the highest level,” said Tracey Suggs one of the co-founders of Protect Your Skull.
In addition to the National Awards, HBCU Gameday will conclude this season by announcing our FCS All America team. Earlier this week we announced our Division II All America team which you can find here.
