Tim Tebow of Florida won the Davey O'Brien Award on Thursday night as the nation's top quarterback, beating out Oregon's Dennis Dixon and Missouri's Chase Daniel.
Tebow is the nation's second-leading passer, having completed 68 percent of his throws for 3,132 yards, with 29 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Troy Smith of Ohio State won the O'Brien Award the past season.
Tebow is the second sophomore quarterback to win the award.
Fred Biletnikoff Award
Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech won the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best receiver.
Crabtree, the NCAA's leader in total receptions with 125, beat out Mario Manningham of Michigan and Jordy Nelson of Kansas State.
Crabtree led the nation with 1,861 yards and 21 touchdowns and shattered the NCAA freshman record of 14 receiving TDs held by three players. He became last week the first freshman since Herschel Walker in 1980 to be named to the American Football Coaches Association All-American team.
Calvin Johnson of Georgia Tech won the award last season.
Outland Trophy
LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey won the Outland Trophy as the nation's top lineman to become the first-ever Tigers player to win the prestigious award.
The other finalists were Kansas lineman Anthony Collins and Michigan offensive lineman Jake Long.
Despite playing the last five games of the season with a sore right knee, Dorsey finished with 64 tackles, six sacks and 11½ tackles behind the line. Dorsey said his knee will be healthy when LSU (11-2) plays Ohio State (11-1) in the Bowl Championship Series title game on Jan. 7.
