The 2009 regular season is one most Seminole fans would like to forget, but there are some fine young men who despite a lackluster year have performed at a high level. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge these fine young men.
The "Peter Warrick" Award goes to the best freshman of the Year. This player had to quickly adjust to college life and excel on the field. I am proud to announce that the "Peter Warrick" Award goes to:
Greg Reid
The "Derrick Brooks" Award goes to the best sophomore of the year. This player truly stepped up his game this year and became a solid foundation and consistent weapon all year. I am proud to announce that the "Derrick Brooks" Award goes to:
Bert Reed
The "Marvin Jones" Award goes to the teams best Junior. This player is as tough as they come at any position and vastly improved his skills this year. It is an honor to announce that this years winner of the "Marvin Jones" Award is:
Christian Ponder
The "Warrick Dunn" Award goes to the best Senior. This player lead by example all year and continued to make big plays. I am proud to announce that this years winner of the "Warrick Dunn" Award is:

The "Sebastian Janikowski" Award goes to the best Special Teams player of the year. This player was electric and whenever he touched the ball good things happened. I am honored in announcing that this years winner of the "Sebastian Janikowski" Award is:
Greg Reid
The "Bobby Bowden" Award goes to the best coach of the year. A very difficult choice but this coach turned a unit around that had been consistently in trouble and made them one of the major strengths of the team. It is a privilege to give this years "Bobby Bowden" Award to:
Coach Lawrence Dawsey
The "Puntrooskie" Award goes to the Play of the Year. This years play of the year came when the Noles needed it most. Down to North Carolina in the second half Safety Jamie Robinson intercepted North Carolina at the 2 yard line the rest is Seminoles History. The "Puntrooskie" Award goes to
Christian Ponder and Rod Owens for the 98 Yard Touchdown that followed Mr. Robinson's interception at North Carolina.
The "Mickey Andrews" Award goes to the Best Defensive player on the Team. While the defense was not spectacular this year this player started to come into his own and play consistently. He is certainly far from his potential but he truly deserves this award. Without further delay I am proud to announce that this years winner of the "Mickey Andrews' Award is:
Nigel Bradham
The "Chris Weinke" Award goes to the Best Offensive player on the team. This player stepped up his game this year and became a semifinalist for the "Maxwell Award" and will be in consideration for the "Heisman Award" starting next year. This Years "Chris Weinke" Award goes to:
Christian Ponder
The "Charlie Ward" Award goes to the most valuable player of the year. Without the true will to win and desire to compete this team would not have made it to another Bowl Game and keep the nations longest bowl streak alive. He set the tone for the entire team and the entire team's character showed in grit and determination. The "Charlie Ward" Award goes to:
Christian Ponder
The last award for the year is the "Deion Sanders" Award for the absolute Best Player on the team. This is different than a MVP. This is for the best football player on the team period. This player is recognized by his peers and works harder to get better everyday. He is determined to be the very best and plays clean but mean. A true Seminole in every sense of the word. This player never takes a play off and wants to punish his opponent every play. It is a true honor in presenting the "Deion Sanders" Award to:
Rodney Hudson
