Vote for the C Spire Conerly Trophy award winner
Voting for the 24th winner of the C Spire Conerly Trophy is now open. The award is given annually to the best college football player in Mississippi.
The list consists of college football players all around Mississippi in every four year college. Ten players are on the list starting with freshman quarterback John Rhys Plumee from Ole Miss. All players have made an impact on their team’s success this season and some, like Felix Harper from Alcorn State University, will be playing in a championship game in a couple of weeks.
Fan voting will count for 10 percent of the Conerly Trophy and a panel of statewide sports media will decide the remaining 90 percent.
Voting ends Sunday, Dec. 1 at noon central time. Fans may submit up to three votes per day during the voting period; however, only one entry is allowed per day for each of the social media methods. To vote, go to http://cspireconerlyvoting.hscampaigns.com/.
