Click here for the John Mackey Award Selection Process and Award Criteria. |
The John Mackey Award, established in 2000, is awarded annually to the most outstanding Tight End in FBS college football. In addition to demonstrating outstanding athletic prowess on the field, the award also stands for positive sportsmanship-like behavior, good academic standing & exceptional leadership abilities.
The award is named after Roosevelt native and NFL Hall of Fame member John Mackey. The award recipient is determined by confidential balloting of the John Mackey Award Selection Committee, which is composed of respected members of the media and former NFL players. "I felt that you should always get something out of every play...if I have 5 or 6 guys that were going to make the tackle, what I try to do is punish one. So if I ever got into that situation again, I will run directly at the one I punished."
-John "Mack Truck" Mackey. |
