Tim Tebow Named Disney Spirit Award Winner

Tim Tebow is going to need one hell of a trophy room when he buys his first house. This guy has more college awards then anyone I’ve ever seen.

Clear off more room on the mantle, because last night Tim Tebow was won the Disney Spirit Award, given annually to college football’s most inspirational figure. Tebow will be presented with the award during The Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards at the Atlantic Dance Hall at Walt Disney World Resort on Thursday, Dec. 11. The 18th annual awards show is scheduled for 7:30-9:30 p.m. ET and will be televised live on ESPN.

“I would like to accept this award on behalf of those who inspire me and give the credit to my Lord, my family, my coaches and my teammates at the University of Florida,” said Tebow. “I’ve always been very passionate about football, but it is not going to be my life’s work forever and I’d like to think that I am not defined by it. To be recognized by Disney Sports for the way I try to use my platform to spread my message about faith and to join the list of recipients of this award is a blessing and it is very, very humbling.”

It was Tim’s charitable work, community work efforts and mission trips that helped him win this Award. It’s nice to see players acknowledged for what they do off the field as well as what they do on it.

Congratulations Timmy!
