Colorado players have won 10 major national awards, including one Heisman Trophy winner in Rashaan Salaam. Each year, several Colorado players are placed on watch lists for these awards. Here are the players that are on these lists for the 2017 season. UPDATED JULY 17, 2017
GEORGE FRAZIER
PAUL HORNING AWARD
The Paul Hornung Award is given annually by the Louisville Sports Commission (LSC) to the most versatile player in major college football.
Frazier is CU's do-it-all man who has already appeared in 38 games for the Buffaloes in his career. He was named a team captain for the second-straight season, becoming one of 10 Buffs in program history to serve as captain twice. This fall he is expected to have an impact on both sides of the ball and on special teams. He will enter fall camp on the two-deep at both defensive end and tight end.
PHIL LINDSAY
MAXWELL AWARD
Colorado senior running back Phillip Lindsay is one of 85 players named to the 81st annual Maxwell Award watch list, the Maxwell Football Club announced.
After garnering second-team All-Pac-12 honors a year ago when he led the league with 16 rushing touchdowns, Lindsay enters his senior season with a head of steam. Lindsay ranks ninth among all returning FBS players in career all-purpose yardage with 4,195 by the NCAA count (CU's count is 4,029 yards since Colorado does not include bowl statistics in official statistical records).
