This is the 2026 STATE CHAMPS! Anvil Award delivered by Hungry Howie's Pizza. This award goes to the best lineman in the state of Michigan.

The criteria that will be used to select the Anvil Award:

30% – Performance Throughout Season
20% – Level of Competition
20% – Fan Vote Online
15% – Big Game Performance
10% – Team Success
5% – Highly Recruited Prospect

Throughout the season, we will be updating player statistics and adding new candidates into the contest as their actual play and performance merits, with a goal of keeping the ten best players on the board. At the end of the season, we will close online voting and select our final four candidates.
