Jason Witten keeps piling up the honors and records as he enters the 15th season of his career with the Dallas Cowboys.
On Tuesday, it was announced Witten’s name would be attached to a new college leadership award called the “Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year.”
The award will recognize the FBS player “who has demonstrated a record of leadership by exhibiting exceptional courage, integrity and sportsmanship both on and off the field.”
It’s the college equivalent of the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year award, which Witten won in 2012.
Three finalists will be named in November, and a winner will be announced in December.
