Rising senior offensive lineman Forrest Lamp and rising senior defensive back Marcus Ward were both named to the Wuerffel Trophy Watch List on Wednesday.
The duo was two of 88 total players on the watch list and two of 10 Conference-USA selections. The Wuerffel Trophy, known as “College Football’s Premier Award for Community Service,” is presented annually by the All Sports Association in Fort Walton Beach, Fla.
Named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Danny Wuerffel from the University of Florida, the Wuerffel Trophy is awarded to the FBS player that best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.
