Tua Tagovailoa Wins Player of the Year Awards, Oklahoma's Kyler Murray Wins Best Quarterback

Heisman finalists Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray were among the night's early winners.

The College Football Awards show aired Thursday night from the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta. Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, also a Heisman Trophy frontrunner, took home the Walter Camp award for player of the year to start the night and the Maxwell Award for College Player of the Year to close it out. Fellow Heisman finalist Kyler Murray of Oklahoma won the Davey O'Brien Award for best quarterback shortly after.

The Maxwell Award for College Player of the Year is still to be presented. Established in 1937, two years after the Heisman, the Maxwell has gone on to become an indicator of that year's Heisman winner with 39 of the 81 winners of the Maxwell Award going on to win the Heisman. Eighteen of the 37 Davey O’Brien Award winners have gone on to win the Heisman as well.
