SINCE 1996

2024 Nominee

Jeff Grimes

Big 12

Baylor University

Offensive Coordinator/Tight Ends

Why should this nominee be considered for the Broyles Award?

Jeff Grimes has led one of the nation’s most remarkable turnarounds in his first season at Baylor. The Bears went 2-7 a season ago, but have become one of the nation’s best turnaround stories with an 8-2 record through 10 games this season. Baylor has knocked off a nation’s-best three ranked opponents, ending No. 4 Oklahoma’s 17-game winning streak and defeating No. 14 Iowa State and No. 19 BYU. With those victories, Baylor has climbed to No. 11 in the AP Top 25 after entering the season with zero votes in the preseason poll.
