Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is the lone SEC player among the 16 finalists for the Campbell Award, which goes annually to the top scholar-athlete in college football.
Some of the players who've won the award in the past include Peyton Manning, Chad Pennington and Danny Wuerrfel.
The Campbell Award was known as the Draddy Trophy until this year and is often referred to as the "Academic Heisman."
Wuerffel is the only player to win the Heisman Trophy and "Academic Heisman" in the same year when he took home both trophies in 1996.
Texas' Colt McCoy is also a finalist this year.
