The college football regular season has come to an end, which means it is now time to honor the individuals who shaped the year.

While the Heisman Trophy is always the most talked-about award, there will be plenty handed out Friday night before the Heisman ceremony on Saturday. LSU's Jayden Daniels, Washington's Michael Penix Jr., Oregon's Bo Nix and Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr. are the four Heisman finalists, with Daniels as the odds-on favorite. Awards to be presented on Friday include the Biletnikoff Award (top pass-catcher), the Doak Walker Award (best running back), the Butkus Award (top linebacker) and the Chuck Bednarik Award (defensive player of the year).

The awards will air on ESPN Friday night. Kevin Negandhi and Jen Lada will host as both Greg McElroy and Sam Acho join in the celebration of the 2023 college football season.

Here's what to know to watch the awards ceremony, including time, TV and streaming information amd more:
