Western Kentucky senior defensive lineman Julien Lewis was named to the 2018 Wuerffel Trophy Watch List on Thursday.
The Wuerffel Trophy is "College Football's Premier Award for Community Service” and is awarded to the FBS player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.
Lewis – who was recognized as the Male Athlete Community Outreach Award recipient at the inaugural TOPSY Awards in April – is a leader on the field, in the classroom and serving the community. The Madison, Ala., native has contributed his time and support to a number of initiatives with the Hilltoppers, including Special Olympics group visits to Houchens-Smith Stadium and Read Across Bowling Green.
