The Broyles Award is a prestigious prize and has possible career ramifications for the nominees. In the past, 43 winners of the Broyles prize have gone on to become college or NFL head coaches. The Broyles selection committee, which is comprised of former head coaches, will make a final determination and announce the winner at a ceremony on Dec. 6.
The B1G produced the Broyles Award winner in 2021 with then-Michigan OC Josh Gattis accepting the honor. Gattis left the Wolverines to join Mario Cristobal at Miami this offseason.
