"The National Football Foundation-College Football Hall Of Fame/SWOFCA "That's My Boy" Award is the most prestigious award for which a student-athlete in the Tri-State can be nominated.
The award takes into consideration high achievements in three areas: football, academics, and extracurricular involvement. Points are awarded based upon certain achievements in all three areas. Once the points are tallied from each candidate a "top 10" list is complied and those become the Finalists for the award. A banquet is held yearly by the NFF (National Football Foundation) in February in downtown Cincinnati at the Omni Netherland Hotel "Hall of Mirrors". It is a first-class, black tie affair that truly commemorates the achievements of the elite football student-athletes in the Tri-State area. It is a must-see event.
Scholarships are awarded to every finalist as well as football student-athletes from local colleges like Miami, Thomas More, UC and Mount St. Joseph. A guest speaker appears annually (Shaun Alexander, Mark Dantonio, Jim O'Brien, etc.) and speaks to the finalists.
The NFF ceremony is piggybacked by the Anthony Munoz Offensive/Defensive Lineman of the Year and the Marvin Lewis Foundation Coach of the year awards as well."
