This program honors players who demonstrate character, courage, contribution and commitment, the exemplary values of football legend Daniel 'Rudy' Ruettiger, inspirational figure of the classic football film RUDY. $25,000 in academic scholarships, provided by the Trusted Sports Foundation, will be awarded to the 12 finalists. A National Selection Committee chaired by Drew Bledsoe and Troy Aikman will determine the nation’s most inspirational players. Results will be announced on January 15, 2012.
