ProActiv Question of the Day: College Football Awards and TCU Players
October 5, 2018
The Davey O'Brien Award for the nation's best quarterback is named after a former TCU player.
The Davey O'Brien Award, given annually to the nation's best college quarterback, honors the TCU legend who won the 1938 Heisman Trophy. O'Brien led the Horned Frogs to a national championship that season.
At 5-foot-7, O'Brien proved that size doesn't determine quarterback success. His legacy continues through the award that bears his name, recognizing the top signal-callers in college football each year.
