In addition, the players who would be considered must have made at least two All-State teams.<\/p>\n Awards are given for many different categories, but the Prime-Time 25 showcase the state’s top juniors who will be entering their senior year. These Prime-Time 25 are usually on the watch list of several colleges and it is common that colleges send recruiters to this prestigious event to meet some of these elite juniors. In all, over 130 awards are presented each year to those who are nominated. The details of the day’s events are provided in a keepsake program given to everyone in attendance.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Griddy Awards THE GRIDDY AWARDS HISTORY The brainchild of Indiana Football Digest publisher, Paul Condry, The first Griddy\u2019s Awards banquet was held for the first time in 2007 at the Indianapolis Colts\u00ae practice facility and pavilion.

Although many players may demonstrate on-field skills and stats, this is not the primary criteria for consideration. While the formula isn’t always an exact science based on stats or a computer data analysis, it does include invaluable qualifications like character, community involvment, team leadership, and a plethora of other non-skill related assets.<\/p>\n
