abstract
  • Nominations for the trophy are made by sports information directors (SIDs) from the 156 schools that participate in Division II football. All of the nominees are then presented to a four-member regional Advisory Committee, one for each competition region (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West). Each committee is composed of four SIDs familiar with the process, who select up to six players who they deem worthy of the award, and give their results to the Voting Coordinator. The 24 players selected in the regional committees are referred to as "Candidates". The regional candidates are then presented to the regions' SIDs, who vote for a first, second, and third place. Each first place vote earns the player three points, while second place votes earn two, and third place votes one point. The top two players selected in each region are the "Finalists" and are placed on a national ballot. The national ballot is open to all of the SIDs, who vote for first, second, and third place amongst the eight finalist. The top three finishers are invited to the awards presentation held during the Division II Championship weekend in Florence, Alabama.
