If Thursday's College Football Awards show was any indication of the Heisman Trophy voting results, Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa should have his speech prepared for Saturday.
Tagovailoa won the Maxwell (college football's best all-around player) and Walter Camp (player of the year) Awards, while fellow Heisman finalist Kyler Murray of Oklahoma took home the Davey O'Brien Award (best quarterback).
"I'd like to first off thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ. I'd like to thank Coach Saban for the opportunity. None of this could be done without the supporting cast as well," Tagovailoa said. "The offense, the defense. I'd like to thank the coaching staff for giving me the opportunity as well. It starts with our O.C., Coach Locks[ley] and it trickles down to our quarterback coach [Dan Enos] coaching us. A lot goes into this and I just think it's more so a team effort than just me."
Tagovailoa is the second Hawaii native to win the Maxwell Award, joining former Oregon and current Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota, who went on to win the Heisman Trophy in 2014.
"Being raised the way I was, every little thing matters," Tagovailoa said. "What you do and what you say reflects who you are and what you represent. I'm grateful that my family gets to witness this and I'm just grateful to all of my teammates and grateful to anyone who's been supportive to me throughout this process."
Tagovailoa, who was wearing a boot, underwent treatment on his injured ankle -- which caused him to miss the end of the SEC Championship Game last week -- and reportedly took a private plane to the ceremony on Thursday, a member of the athletic department confirmed to ESPN.
The sophomore is hopeful that he will be able to play in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl on Dec. 31.
"Hopefully, that's the goal," Tagovailoa said when asked if he'd be cleared. "For now I'm just trying to take it a day at a time, trying to get better."
