New York Jets defensive lineman Solomon Thomas is the winner of the 2023 Heisman Humanitarian Award, the Heisman Trophy Trust announced on Wednesday.

Thomas' work with his foundation, the Defensive Line (TDL), which has been lauded with tackling youth suicide by focusing on how mental health can be better prioritized, earned him the honor -- which will be presented on Dec. 10 at the 89th Annual Heisman Memorial Trophy Gala.

"I am deeply honored to receive the 2023 Heisman Humanitarian Award from the Heisman Trophy Trust." Thomas said in a statement.
