Jim McMahon is one of the best to ever put on a BYU football jersey. Good ol’ Jimmy Mac broke 75 NCAA football records while in Provo and gave BYU football fans one of the three greatest wins of all time.
Sure, he wasn’t always on the best terms with BYU, but that doesn’t take away from what he did on the football field.
Now he’s receiving his second award from the Davey O’Brien foundation.
The foundation’s website announced on Friday that McMahon would be the 16th recipient of the Davey O’Brien Legends Award.
The Legends Award was established in 2001 and recognizes a quarterback who has made “significant contributions to the game of football on and off the field.
