7:09 p.m. ET -- The Doak Walker Award, given to the nations best running back, was given to Andre Williams from Boston College . Williams will be in New York City later this week as a Heisman Trophy finalist after rushing for 2,102 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2013. The other finalists for the Doak Walker Award were Ka'Deem Carey (Arizona) and Bishop Sankey (Washington). 

6:30 p.m. ET -- The award ceremony won't begin for another thirty minutes, but one of the biggest individual awards was just announced as Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was named the Walter Camp Player of the Year. The national player of the year award does not usually match the Heisman Trophy winner, but in 2013 odds are good that Winston will claim both awards. 

Not bad company for Winston if he does win the Heisman. Keep it here or follow along on Twitter (@EyeOnCFB) for more updates throughout the night. Remember, the awards will start rolling around 7 p.m. ET.
