We reached out to all head coaches for nominees for Player of the Year (max 5 players were allowed to be submitted). Coaches submitted the following 29 players. If no response was provided, BLITZ nominated based on stats/accolades. From here, we will narrow down the nominees to a finalist pool, and allow the public to vote on one nominee that didn’t make our finalist group to join it with a ‘last finalist’ vote. Following the ‘Last Finalist’ selection, our internal voting panel will vote Heisman-style for the winner.
