MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – The Minnesota Football Honors and the Minnesota Chapter of the National Football Foundation announced its winners of this year's Bobby Bell College Impact Player of the Year Award winners across all three divisions of NCAA Football.
 
Bemidji State University Football senior All-American Ty Cobb was named the Division II Bobby Bell College Impact Player of the Year.
 
The Bobby Bell College Impact Player of the Year Award honors the most impactful Minnesota college football player at
the Division I, II and III levels. A winner from each Division was selected by a voting committee comprised of Minnesota
Chapter of the National Football Foundation board members.
 
The Division I winner was Tyler Nubin (Minnesota) while Jake Breitbach (Gustavus Adophus) won the award at the Division III level.
 
Cobb was named to the D2CAA All-America First Team, Associated Press All-America First Team, Don Hansen All-America Second Team and D2Football.com Elite-100 Team after helping the Beavers reach the second round of the NCAA Division II Football Tournament for the third consecutive season. Also a finalist for the Gene Upshaw Award as the best lineman – offensive or defensive- in Division II, Cobb started all 12 games at right tackle this season and helped the BSU offense average 30.5 points per game and 399.2 yards per game. In over 1,400 pro snaps, Cobb only allowed four sacks throughout his four-year career and started 38 straight games.
 
Minnesota Football Honors is hosting a show later this summer to honor its high school, college and Minnesota Vikings
award winners. Full television broadcast details will be announced at a later date on www.minnesotafootballhonors.com.
