Army West Point junior quarterback Cale Hellums has been selected as one of the Manning Award Stars of the Week, the Allstate Sugar Bowl announced on Monday.

Hellums, making his first career start, powered the Black Knights to a 24-21 comeback victory at Kansas State on Saturday night. He rushed for a program-record 41 carries, finishing with 124 rushing yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with 2:52 left in the fourth quarter. He also completed 7-of-11 passes for 43 yards and his first career touchdown through the air.

The Tomball, Texas, native led an Army offense that out gained Kansas State 192-48 in the second half.

The Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in 2004 to honor the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only quarterback award that includes the candidates' bowl performances in its balloting. Since the Manning Award started recognizing Stars of the Week in 2011, 578 different quarterbacks from 136 schools have been recognized. Seventy-four players were honored during the 2024 season.

This week's eight Manning Award Stars of the Week are: Steve Angeli (Syracuse), Aidan Chiles (Michigan State), Jacob Clark (Missouri State), Cale Hellums (Army), John Mateer (Oklahoma), Beau Pribula (Missouri), Sawyer Robertson (Baylor), and Blake Shapen (Mississippi State).

Fans can vote for this week's Manning Award Quarterback of the Week on the Allstate Sugar Bowl's Facebook page. Voting closes Wednesday at 12:00 p.m. ET.
