Tampa, Fla.—Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson is the winner of the 2016 Bobby Bowden Award. The honor is presented each year to the college football player who epitomizes a student-athlete. He must conduct himself as an exemplary model in the classroom, on the field, on the campus and in the community.
The award was presented by Bowden and accepted by Watson at Idlewild Baptist Church in Tampa on Sunday morning in front of over 5,000 people. Head Coach Dabo Swinney was at the presentation.
“Deshaun Watson fits the criteria of Bobby Bowden Award in every way,” said Swinney.
