The inaugural Arby’s Thighsman Award was presented by football legend Joe Theismann to Mason Graham, whose outstanding performance this season has earned him national recognition. A projected top-10 pick, Graham’s exceptional talent, leadership, and tireless efforts were integral to his team’s success the past three years, earning him several conference accolades along the way.

“This award is all about giving the big men some recognition,” said Theismann. “With their large stature and unwavering strength, linemen are the unsung hero of football. And let’s face it, big men need big sandwiches and Arby’s gets that! I am thrilled to present this award to Mason, a standout athlete who deserves his moment in the spotlight.”

“I’ve been playing team sports my whole life, so I know that I am contributing to a larger goal,” said Graham. “Being recognized feels great though – I love Arby’s, and their roast beef sandwiches, so I am excited to accept the inaugural Arby’s Thighsman Award.”

There are ample big men that deserve recognition this season. That is why the brand is signing up to 100 additional collegiate linemen with NIL deals, allowing them to get all the Arby's they want.
