OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (Sept. 26, 2019) – Thirty NCAA® Football Bowl Subdivision student-athletes who excel both on and off the field were selected today as candidates for the 2019 Senior CLASS Award® in collegiate football and Middle Tennessee's Khalil Brooks is among the candidates. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I FBS senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. The complete list of candidates follows this release.
Brooks, a redshirt senior from Atlanta, Ga., already has his degree and is working toward a master's degree. Brooks is tied for second on the team with 18 tackles and currently ranks fourth all-time at Middle Tennessee in sacks and tackles for loss.
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.
To determine the final Senior CLASS Award winner, the 30 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition. Along with the winner, the 10 finalists will be awarded Senior CLASS Award first- or second-team honors.
The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced during the football bowl season in January. For more information on the candidates, visit seniorCLASSaward.com.
