Mason Rudolph and James Washington have worked well together over their four years as teammates, to say the least. Rudolph is the Cowboys’ all-time leading passer and Washington is closing on Rashaun Woods to claim that title of leading receiver in OSU history, and they have each other to thank for a big part of each player’s success.

But college football’s most dynamic duo are also competing against one another.

It’s voted on by head coaches, members of the Maxwell Football Club and media members.
