Twenty semifinalists will be announced on Oct. 22. Three finalists will be named for the award on Dec. 16. The winner will be announced at the award ceremony in Arlington, Texas, on Feb. 12, 2025.
The award is the first college football honor to focus primarily on a player’s leadership, both on and off the field. In addition to becoming one of the best tight ends in the history of the sport, Witten served as one of football’s most prominent role models during his 16-year pro career. He was the recipient of the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award in 2012, while also being recognized with the Bart Starr Award, Pro Football Weekly’s Humanitarian of the Year Award, NFL Neighborhood MVP and the Bob Lilly Award. All of those honors have recognized his work in the community, achievements on the field and dedication to his teammates and family.
The winner of the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year will also receive a $10,000 contribution in his name to his school’s athletic scholarship fund. The contribution will be made by Jason Witten’s SCORE Foundation, the official charity of Jason and his wife Michelle. The SCORE Foundation, founded in 2007, has positively impacted tens of thousands of children and families in Texas and Tennessee over the last 16 years.
