Florida quarterback Kyle Trask is one of 30 candidates for the 2020-21 Senior CLASS Award, as was announced over the weekend.
Trask is one of five quarterbacks to be nominated for the award, which is given to a student-athlete that demonstrates leadership qualities on and off the field.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Two Florida players — Tim Tebow in 2009 and Johnny Townsend in 2017 — have won the award, and the pair are the only two finalists for UF since the award began recognizing football players in 2008.
The list of 30 will be trimmed to 10 by the end of the regular season, and those 10 will be placed on a ballot for media, coaches and fans to vote on. The winner is announced during the bowl season in December.
Here’s the full list of candidates.
