Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has been selected as the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award winner for the football bowl subdivision.

In addition to Tebow's Senior CLASS Award, Lowe's also named Senior All-America First and Second Teams. The University of Minnesota's Eric Decker was named to the Senior CLASS All-America Second Team.
