The Jason Witten Award

[n_huffhines]

The new collegiate man of the year award will be named after Jason Witten. What an incredible honor. Couldn't find a thread for this, which is surprising. Please merge if there is one.

Lucky to have seen his first play with the Vols because the man sitting beside me was from Elizabethon. Kept talking about what a great kid and athlete he was.

Awesome. Sauce.

The Walter Payton of College Football. Well deserved, Jason!

Increadable football player I have many great mementoes of in college.

Awesome. Sauce?.... What are you, a 12 year old girl from 2012?

In all seriousness, I couldn't think of a better person to name this award after.

I like to stay in touch with the younger generations. I'm chill that way.

Yes you are.

Will they give the award to Paul Bain after watching his Vicious hits?

They'd better!

 

[YankeeVol]

That's what's up

Uh, I don't think you understand who you're talking about. Paul Bain awards himself whenever he wants.

The Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year award will be presented after the 2017 college football season to a player from the FBS level who has “demonstrated a record of leadership by exhibiting exceptional courage, integrity and sportsmanship both on and off the field.”

Not bad for an ol' country boy from Elizabethton.

 

[RollerVol]

how cool is that...another VFL repping, forever enshrined in Vol and national lore...couldn't happen to a better person...:salute:

GO VOLS!

 

[VolinMC]

Couldn't happen to a better person. He has represented his family,himself,his school,his team,his state and hometown with nothing but class. Glad he will be remembered forever.

 

[wiTNess]

awesome

Incredible testament to his character. I could see Dobbs having won this award had it been around last year. But I am biased.

He's been one of my favorites for a long time. Love seeing the recognition for a quality person and athlete.

Because I am both a die hard Tennessee and Dallas fan, I have been cheering for Jason a very long time and still remember that play vs Michigan in the Citrus Bowl... I have never met him but I have heard from a person who has met him that he is a class act. This is an incredible honor and we should all be very proud of this.
