The 2016 College Football Awards show was held Thursday night at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
As many expected, Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson dominated the night, earning the Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award as the best player in college football this year. The only thing to add to his trophy case will be the Heisman on Saturday.
On the opposite side of the ball, players like Reuben Foster of Alabama and USC’s Adoree’ Jackson were the lucky winners.
