Delaware Football Nation has a board of voters consisting of coaches and media around the state, whereby each voter identifies three selections, ranking them in order. Each first-place selection is awarded three points, each second-place selection is awarded two points, and each third-place selection is awarded one point.  The public also receives a chance to cast their vote. The winner of the public vote receives three points toward their final points.  The nominee with the most points is the winner of the award.
