NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Florida's Tim Tebow joins three quarterbacks from the Big 12 and Texas Tech receiver Michael Crabtree as finalists for this season's Walter Camp Football Foundation player of the year award.

Oklahoma's Sam Bradford, Texas' Colt McCoy and Texas Tech's Graham Harrell are the other finalists.

The winner will be announced Dec. 11 after a vote by the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision coaches and sports information directors. The trophy will be presented Jan. 17 at the foundation's annual awards banquet in New Haven.

Walter Camp, known as "The Father of American Football," first picked an All-America team in 1889. The former Yale athlete and football coach is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays and the limit of 11 players per side.
