AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn offensive lineman Alex Kozan, recognized in August with preseason honors for his football exploits, is a semifinalist for a postgraduate award that encompasses his classroom and community work, too.
Kozan is one of 156 semifinalists for the William V. Campbell Trophy, the National Football Foundation announced Wednesday.
Each nominee must be a senior or graduate student and have a grade point average of at least 3.2 and must have "outstanding football ability as a first-team player or significant contributor and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship," the National Football Foundation said.
