Joe Burger was named as a semifinalist for the Campbell Trophy, an award that honors college football’s best scholar-athlete, during his senior season at Ohio State.
While Burger didn’t ultimately win the award, he’s still reaping the rewards just for being nominated.
Burger, who played linebacker for the Buckeyes from 2012-16, attended the National Football Foundation’s Campbell Trophy Summit last week at Stanford University, where he and other previous Campbell Trophy nominees had the opportunity to interact and learn from entrepreneurs and Silicon Valley CEOs about leadership and how they have achieved success.
“It was a really cool experience,” said Burger, who also attended the inaugural summit in 2017, in an interview with Eleven Warriors after attending last week’s summit.
