    The 27th Annual National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Scholar-Athlete Awards 2020 The Colorado Chapter (2019-20) On April 13, the Colorado Chapter was set to celebrate its 27th class of outstanding high school scholar-athletes, but was one of many casualties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame was chartered on July 1, 1992, and is one of 120 chapters in 47 states that make up the organization. Its members include former players, coaches, athletics administrators, educators, officials, news media and football fans, all of who enjoy the game of football and share in its purposes and goals. One of its primary goals is to recognize and honor the top high school football student-athletes in the state – young men who have distinguished themselves on the field, in the classroom and in extracurricular and community activities where leadership abilities are displayed. The 27th annual awards banquet was set to recognize 17 of the top student-athletes chosen from a field of statewide nominees and selected by an impartial committee with diverse backgrounds. The criteria for selection is based on a combination of athletic ability (40 percent), academic achievement and character (40 percent) and citizenship and service (20 percent). Colorado remains the only chapter nationwide that selects collegiate players of the week and a collegiate All- State team, starting for the 2003 season, with 2019 thus marking the 17th straight year of such recognition. And beginning in 2014, the chapter began recognizing an Academic All-Colorado team comprised of the 10 football- playing colleges and universities in the state, along with selecting a Scholar-Athlete of the Year (based upon academic and athletic excellence).
