University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has won the Disney Spirit Award which is given to college football’s most inspirational figure. Tebow will be presented with the award at the Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards at the Atlantic Dance Hall at Walt Disney World Resort on Thursday, December. 11th and will be televised live on ESPN.

Tebow said “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. 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.”
