The All-American Bowl Player of the Year Award has been awarded annually since 2000 to the most outstanding high school football player in the United States, comparable to the Heisman Trophy for collegiate football players. The award is named after Ken “Sugarland Express” Hall, who was the all-time leading rusher in high school football history for 59 years. The Trophy is cast in the likeness of Ken Hall in his 1950s uniform. The Trophy presentation takes place after the high school season at a formal dinner on the evening before the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Charles Kenneth Hall nicknamed "Sugar Land Express", is a former American football player. Playing for the Sugar Land High School Gators from 1950 to 1953, Hall established 17 national football records, several of which still stand.
