The Sgt. York Trophy is a trophy which goes to the winner of the triangular season football series between the three Ohio Valley Conference football-playing schools located in the state of Tennessee – Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin. The trophy is named for Alvin York, a leading American war hero of World War I and a native of Tennessee.[1]

History

The Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference announced the creation of the trophy in July 2007. In 2014, Delta Dental of Tennessee became the presenting sponsor of the Trophy. In 2022, Austin Peay left the Ohio Valley Conference and moved to the ASUN Conference, with this move and no future matchups scheduled, Austin Peay is currently no longer competing for the Sgt. York Trophy.
