The Mickey Charles Award was first established in 2014. The award is recognition of an FCS player’s achievement athletically and academically. The person to whom it is being given this year, standing out from a number of near equally nominees, is Derek Crittenden from the University of Montana. He has a 4.0 GPA as a senior and his major course of study is Philosophy. As a stand-out on two fields of play, the football and classroom, his future bodes well and he is a very deserving choice for this FCS Award. The man that conceived and founded the FCS Awards nearly three decades ago, Mickey Charles, the creation of this award is a tribute to his accomplishments for the FCS. He is a veritable legend within the Sports industry, from humble beginnings in a garage in suburban Philadelphia to, as a recent feature appearing on ESPN pointed out, among other things, his rise to running a global multi-million dollar organization.

I thought DC's major was Chemistry? This is the second time that I've seen/heard it as philosophy.
Which is it? Is chemistry his minor perhaps?

Go Griz has his major listed as Philosophy, but I too have seen the UM commercials saying his major is Chemistry.
 
Congrats to Derek! He already has his chemistry degree so just "for fun" he decided to grab a degree in a completely unrelated field because that is what renaissance men do. O-chem with a math minor and a philosophy degree to boot and captain of the football team. Hey Rhodes scholar selectors....you blew it, because you all missed out on a man who is exactly what Cecil Rhodes was thinking of when he created this scholarship.

I am so proud of DC. Can't imagine the pride his family feels - how incredible to have raised such an amazing young man.
