BYU football’s Ty Detmer receives NCAA Silver Anniversary Award

Looks like BYU football offensive coordinator Ty Detmer will have to clear out some space in his trophy cabinet.

The 1990 Heisman Trophy winner received the NCAA Silver Anniversary Award last night in Tennessee.

The NCAA Silver Anniversary Award recognizes individuals on the 25th anniversary of the end of their college playing careers. The award highlights on and off-the-field accomplishments.

Detmer is a BYU football legend, leading the Cougars to four-straight bowl appearances during his career. He broke 59 NCAA records as the Cougars’ signal caller and won a litany of awards.

He graduated from BYU in 1992 and was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 1992 NFL Draft.
