Built for the trenches and grounded in a shared philosophy of "No Weak Links," the partnership celebrates the power of teamwork and collective achievement in college football
SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis., Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnsonville, America's No. 1 sausage brand, today announced a new partnership with the Joe Moore Award, the only major college football award that honors collective achievement across an entire unit rather than an individual player. Built on a shared belief that there are simply "no weak links," Johnsonville is stepping in as the ultimate support system for the players who pave the way to victory.
