Congratulations to senior linebacker Courtney Love, who was named one of 11 semifinalists for the 2017 Wuerffel Trophy, which honors college football’s top community servant. Yesterday, he was also named this week’s nominee for the 2017 Capital One Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award.
Love’s list of good deeds from UK is long. He leads the team in community service hours and has a passion for mentoring children, especially those living in a one-parent household or children who have parents who are incarcerated. Courtney currently volunteers at Amachi Central Kentucky, a mentoring program that seeks to pair caring, positive adults with children and youth in the Bluegrass who have one or both parents in state or federal prison or are affected by incarceration in some way.
