We live in a world of individuals.

But history is built by teams.

No one reaches greatness alone.

Greatness is shared.

The Award

One unit. One standard. One trophy.

Founded in 2015 and presented by the Foundation for Teamwork, the Joe Moore Award honors the entire offensive line as a unit, no individual statistics, no single name, no metrics, no narratives. Just the tape. The toughest, most cohesive front in the country, graded snap by snap on film by the people who know the position best.

The Standard

Five men, moving as one.

A Joe Moore Award champion offensive line, five men moving as one

A unit so cohesive it stops looking like five players and starts looking like one. No individual stats. No single name. Just the toughest, most unselfish men in football, recognized by the most coveted honor in the sport. The trophy matches the standard: nearly 800 pounds, sculpted by Jerry McKenna. The largest in college football.
