The Maxwell Football Club announces its Watch List for the 30th Bednarik Award

The Maxwell Football Club today announced its watch list for the 30th Chuck Bednarik Award presented annually to the outstanding defensive player in college football.

The Bednarik Award has been presented to the College Defensive Player of the Year since 1994 and is named in honor of Chuck “Concrete Charlie” Bednarik who was an All-American player at the University of Pennsylvania and later a multiple year All Pro linebacker and center for the Philadelphia Eagles. He is a member of both the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame and was the last NFL player to be a full-time player on both offense and defense.

The Bednarik Award watch list will once again incorporate a broad spectrum of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) programs and conferences from coast to coast, led by 4 returning 2023 semifinalists: Malaki Starks (Georgia) , Ashton Gillotte (Louisville), Howard Cross III (Notre Dame) and Jason Henderson (Old Dominion). Georgia, Iowa, Miami, Michigan and Ohio State lead the way with 3 candidates each and an additional 13 schools boast 2 players represented. 6 conferences are represented, SEC (21), ACC (19), Big10 (19), Big12 (13), AAC (4), MAC (4), Mountain West (4) and Sunbelt (3). There are also 3 Independents who have candidates listed.

Last year’s Chuck Bednarik Award winner was Payton Wilson Jr. (NC State) who went on to be the 3rd round selection of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2024 NFL Draft. Wilson was the first NC State player to win the Bednarik Award.

Candidates are listed below in alphabetical order by school.

MAXWELL FOOTBALL CLUB ANNOUNCES THE CREATION OF THE HBCU CONTRIBUTIONS TO FOOTBALL AWARD

Award to be presented to an outstanding contributor to HBCU football for efforts on or off the field

 The Maxwell Football Club (MFC), home to several of college football’s most prestigious awards including the Maxwell, Chuck Bednarik and George Munger awards, proudly announces the creation of the Club’s HBCU Contributions to Football Award which will be presented annually to an outstanding contributor from a historically black college, athletic department, football program or conference.

 HBCU football was established in the late 19th century with the first game being held on December 27, 1892 between Biddle College and Livingstone College. There are currently 21 football programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) at the FCS level. FCS HBCU football programs primarily play in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) or the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). There are also 3 FCS schools, North Carolina A&T State University (CAA), Hampton University (CAA) and Tennessee State (OVC) which play in non-HBCU conferences. At the Division II level there are HBCU teams participating in the CIAA and SIAC conferences. The 2024 HBCU football season begins with the Cricket MEAC/SWAC Challenge on Saturday, August 24th and concludes with the champion being crowned at the Cricket Celebration Bowl on Saturday, December 14th.

 “The opportunity to continue the Maxwell Club’s mission of recognizing excellence in all aspects of football, and amplifying the direct contributions that align with the rich history of HBCU football is something very special. For over 130 years HBCU institutions and football programs have provided incredible opportunities for student-athletes to pursue college educations and opportunities on the football field. So many legendary figures have built this tremendous legacy and contributed to the rich fabric of HBCU football. We are truly honored to have the chance to help tell the story of the players, coaches and administrators who have built this legacy.” – Mark Wolpert – Executive Director – Maxwell Football Club.

 “The Maxwell Football Club’s HBCU Contribution to Football Award is a testament to the invaluable impact that individuals from Historically Black Colleges and Universities have made on the game of college football. Establishing this prestigious award and recognizing their contributions is not just honoring their achievements, but also celebrating the rich history and talent that have shaped the sport we love.” John Grant – Executive Director – ESPN Events – Cricket Celebration Bowl – Cricket MEAC SWAC Challenge Kickoff

 The inaugural MFC Contributions to HBCU Football Award will be presented on Friday March 14, 2025 at the 88th Maxwell Awards which will be held at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta Georgia. For additional information please contact info@maxwellfootballclub.org
