Frost will be honored at a Jan. 6 reception in Atlanta in conjunction with the College Football Playoff Championship Game.

In addition, Frost was named a finalist for the 2017 George Munger Collegiate Coach of the Year Award on Thursday. Frost is joined in a group of four finalists that includes Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley, Clemson’s Dabo Swinney, and Georgia’s Kirby Smart.

The winner of the 2017 Geoge Munger Award will be announced on Jan. 3, and will be formally presented at the Maxwell Award Gala in Atlantic City, N.J. in March.

On top of being named the American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Frost was also honored as one of five AFCA Regional Coach of the Year winners. The AFCA will announce their 2017 Coach of the Year on Jan. 9.
