American Athletic Conference football individual awards#Defensive Player of the Year

File:American Athletic Conference logo.svg

The American Athletic Conference (The American) gives five football awards at the conclusion of every season. The awards were first given in 2013, following the restructuring of the Big East Conference. The awards existed in the same format in the Big East from 1991 to 2012.

The five awards include Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Special Teams Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and Coach of the Year. Recipients are selected by the votes of the conference's head coaches.{{cite web |url=http://theamerican.org/news/2013/12/11/FB_1211130338.aspx |title=American Athletic Conference Announces 2013 Postseason Football Honors |date=December 11, 2013 |author=American Athletic Conference |access-date=December 31, 2013}}
