Penn State senior linebacker Brandon Smith has been named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, the university announced Thursday.
He is among the 11 FBS — and 22 overall honorees — that have been chosen nationally. No other player in the Big Ten was picked.
Smith is the fourth Nittany Lion to ever earn a spot on the team that highlights “incredible stories of selflessness and community service.” Wayne Holmes won the award in 1994, followed by Stefen Wisniewski (2010) and Ben Kline (2015).
Fans can vote on the captain of the Good Works Team at ESPN.
