AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham was selected as one of 11 finalists for the 2017 Manning Award on Thursday.
The award, which is given annually to the nation’s most outstanding quarterback, was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. With the winner not being announced until after the bowls in January, it is the only quarterback award that takes the candidates’ bowl performances into consideration.
