The John Mackey Award is presented annually to college football's most outstanding tight end.

The winner is chosen by a selection committee comprising sportswriters and former players, including Lee Corso, Phil Steele, Charles Arbuckle, and former John Mackey Award winners Tim Stratton, Dallas Clark, and, among others.[1] The award is a member of the National College Football Awards Association, which encompasses college football's most prestigious awards.[2] Former Florida State tight end Nick O'Leary called the award one which "all tight ends dream of winning".
