The Comeback Player of the Year award annually honors three players, as opposed to one, who rebound from "injury, illness, or other circumstances" as voted on by a panel of college football writers, editors, and sports information directors.

The winners of the award will be honored during the postseason at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.
