Jul 29, 2021 | Football
NEW ORLEANS – Tulane University linebacker Nick Anderson was one of 93 players from the Football Bowl Subdivision that were named to the Wuerffel Trophy Watch List on Thursday.
Â
The award which is named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback from the University of Florida, Danny Wuerffel, is the premier award for community service. The Wuerffel Trophy is presented in February annually in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
Â
The trophy exists to honor college football players who serve others, celebrate their positive impact on society, and inspire greater service in the world.
Â
Anderson was named to the preseason watch list after establishing himself as a leader in community service on the Green Wave football team. The Tulane junior is highly involved in the community throughout New Orleans and in his hometown of Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Â
In the classroom, he holds a 3.7 grade point average and is majoring in Homeland Security. This past December he was selected as one of two departmental recipients of the Stephen Martin Scholars award.
Â
The Wuerffel Trophy is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA), which encompasses the most prestigious awards in college football. Founded in 1997, the NCFAA and its 25 awards now boast more than 800 recipients, dating back to 1935.
Â
Anderson is the sixth Tulane player this year to be named to a preseason award watch list. He joins teammates Ryan Wright (Guy Award), Corey Dublin (Outland Award), Sincere Haynesworth (Rimington Award), Dorian Williams (Benarik Award) and Cameron Carroll (Walker Award).
