Since 1996, the Broyles Award has maintained a strong relationship with the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA).

Coach Broyles’s relationship with the FWAA dates back to 1964, when they awarded him the Grantland Rice trophy for Arkansas’s National Championship win.

Today, the Broyles Award Selection Committee includes 27 national sports writers and broadcasters. These writers collaborate with our coaching committee members to curate and select the list of finalists and winners for each year’s award. The Broyles Award is a proud member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA), the premier organization for collegiate football awards.
