The online fan voting at USA Today was worth 1/3 of the points towards the overall award. 

Evan was ahead by a landslide when I checked right before polling ended. 

In effect, he also won a popularity contest in addition to the Sullivan award, which was presented by former recipient and OGM, Sarah Hughes. 

His acceptance speech is available online at the AAU site here: http://www.aausullivan.org/
