Gardner Minshew may have fallen short of the Heisman award last month, but the quarterback is still in the running for another award on a local level.
The 84th annual Seattle Sports Star of the Year awards announced their nominees earlier this week. The awards, created by sportswriter Royal Bougham in 1938, recognizes athletic achievements across the state of Washington. This year, Minshew, along with WSU soccer player Morgan Weaver, were among the nominees.
If you’re reading this, you probably know the legend of Gardner Minshew in Pullman, but you might have missed Weaver’s incredible season at Lower Soccer Field.
