“There are inspirational stories in football at every level, but nothing matches the purity of heart and desire of a high school athlete determined to overcome all obstacles. High school athletes, and especially the ones considered for the Inspireum Football Awards, are motivated by something far deeper. They strive to prove to themselves and their teammates that there is no injury too severe, no setback too big and no circumstance too difficult to overcome. Hats off to these individuals! They remind us of all that is right with athletics."
- Drew Bledsoe
Chairman, Inspireum Football Awards |
The Inspireum Football Awards celebrate outstanding young athletes, not because of their statistical performance, but because of their ability to inspire teammates, classmates, families and communities. Each year we discover, amplify, and celebrate hundreds of football players nationwide who display great character, courage, contribution and commitment. Players are nominated by coaches, parents and teammates for this prestigious award.
The 12 scholarship winners will be chosen by the Selection Committee and YOU, the online fans!
