Ezekiel Elliott wins Sullivan Award
Ezekiel Elliott has collected another honor stemming from his 2014 season.
The Ohio State running back won the 2014 AAU Sullivan Award on Sunday afternoon. The award is given to the top amateur athlete.
Elliott beat out Shawn Barber, Simone Biles, Meryl Davis and Charlie White, Katie Ledecky and Jahlil Okafor. Barber is a pole vaulter from Akron, Biles is a U.S. gymnast, Davis and White are U.S. ice dancers, Ledecky is a U.S. swimmer and Okafor won the basketball national title with Duke earlier in April.
In his acceptance speech, Elliott said he couldn't imagine winning a gold medal in the Olympics. Ledecky won a gold medal in the 2012 Olympics. He thanked his parents, coaches and teammates at Ohio State.
"Football's a team sport and I'm nothing without my boys around me," Elliott said.
Playing the entire season with a broken left wrist, Elliott was Ohio State's driving force in the final three games of the year as the Buckeyes won the first College Football Playoff. He finished with 1,878 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Last year's winner was former Penn State offensive lineman John Urschel.
