"We are excited to partner with College Football Dawgs entering the 2024 season. To have the chance to build the Maxwell brand nationally with a group of young, energetic professionals will drive excitement for our college awards while giving College Football Dawgs the unique opportunity to partner with one of the most established football awards organizations in the country," Wolpert said. "We look forward to a great future together, promoting the great game of college football."
"I want to thank Mark Wolpert for entrusting our staff in this partnership, and we cannot wait to start this journey with his team," Dworsky said. "Together, we aim to inspire the next generation of football enthusiasts and celebrate the achievements of student-athletes across the country."
This partnership marks a significant step in fostering community engagement and recognizing excellence in the world of college football. Both organizations look forward to a fruitful collaboration that will benefit student-athletes and football fans nationwide.
From its inception, the MFC held weekly informal meetings with football officials, coaches and the public to discuss recent games. During these meetings, local high school and college players were honored, making it the first organization to celebrate football talent from the beginner to the professional level.
In 1937, the club awarded its first namesake trophy, and in 1959, following Bell's death, it introduced the Professional Player of the Year Award, known as the Bert Bell Trophy. The MFC continues to recognize and honor outstanding football players, promoting the sport and its values.
Specifics about content and initiatives stemming from this partnership, including podcast shows, graphics, syndication, etc., will be announced prior to the start of the 2024 college football season.
