NEW YORK - Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds and UConn forward Breanna Stewart won the AAU James E Sullivan Award on Sunday as the most outstanding U.S. amateur athletes who also demonstrate premier leadership, character, and sportsmanship.

Reynolds led Navy to a school-record 11 wins against two losses and the academy's best end-of-season ranking in more than 50 years at No. 18. He finished his career as the FBS leader in touchdowns (88) and rushing yards by a quarterback (4,559).

"I’m extremely blessed and honored to have won this award," Reynolds said in a statement. "I would like to thank my family, the coaching staff, my teammates, the Naval Academy Athletic Association, the Naval Academy administration, the Brigade of Midshipmen and the entire Naval Academy family for all the support they have provided me over the last four years. Winning this award is the cherry on top of a great four years."

Stewart led UConn to four straight national titles. She was absent from the ceremony while partaking in the Huskies' championship parade.
