Stand Together Foundation, in partnership with former Alabama standout and NFL legend Shaun Alexander today announced its title sponsorship of a series of college football awards honoring the nation's top freshman student-athletes. Highlights include the Shaun Alexander Freshman Player of the Year Award along with two other Shaun Alexander Awards recognizing inspirational and breakout performances by freshman student-athletes.

"Shaun's legacy in the sports world is only matched by the legacy he's building as a dedicated social entrepreneur working with the most effective nonprofits across the country to help people in poverty to transform their lives," said the executive director of Stand Together Foundation. "We are thrilled to team with Shaun and the FWAA to sponsor these awards recognizing the top freshman who are looking to follow in Shaun's footsteps to fulfill their own potential -- not just in athletics but also as drivers of positive transformation in communities."

Alexander burst on to the college football scene as a freshman with a record-setting 291-yard, four-touchdown performance in Alabama's 26-0 victory over rival LSU in 1996. He later went on to a standout career in the NFL, earning MVP honors in 2005 after setting a then single-season record for touchdowns while also leading the league in rushing.
