PITTSBURGH—Pitt center Jimmy Morrissey has been named a candidate for the 2020 Senior CLASS Award in college football.
To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I FBS senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Morrissey (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./La Salle College H.S.) is a four-year starter on the Panthers' offensive line. He was a first-team All-ACC performer in 2019 and is considered one of the top center prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft.
A decorated student, Morrissey has been named to the All-ACC Academic Team three times. He earned his bachelor's degree in finance and marketing, and is now enrolled in Pitt's Katz Graduate School of Business. Morrissey received induction into Pitt's prestigious Blue-Gold Society, comprised of top students who serve as ambassadors for the university and Pitt Alumni Association.
To determine the overall Senior CLASS Award winner, the 30 candidates are narrowed to ten finalists at the end of the regular season, and those names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system available to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs: community, classroom, character and competition. Along with the winner, the 10 finalists will be awarded Senior CLASS Award first- or second-team honors.
