Candidates will be announced every Monday with the voting closing on the following Tuesday at 5 p.m. The winner will be announced at a later time.
If you believe a certain student-athlete should be a candidate, email the Daily News sports editor Zach Carter at zachary.carter@bsu.edu, associate sports editor Logan Connor at logan.connor@bsu.edu or reporter David Moore at david.moore@bsu.edu.
