The award, presented by the 100% Wrong Club of Atlanta, recognizes the nation's top football player from a historically black college or university.
Eugene, a sophomore, passed for 4,455 yards and 43 touchdowns last season, both school records. He rushed for 515 yards and nine touchdowns.
Behind Eugene, Grambling finished 11-2 and won the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship for the third straight season.
The Gaither Award was established in 1934, one year before the Heisman Trophy.
