JONESBORO, Ark. (11/1/17) – Arkansas State senior cornerback and return specialist Blaise Taylor has been named one of just 13 finalists for the prestigious 2017 William V. Campbell Trophy, announced Wednesday by the National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame.
As one of the 13 finalists for the Campbell Trophy, Taylor also becomes the second A-State student-athlete to ever be named an NFF National Scholar-Athlete. Arkansas State University alumnus and current Board of Trustees member Dr. Tim Langford, a 1980-83 A-State letterman and All-Southland Conference quarterback, earned the honor in 1983.
Taylor and Georgia State safety Chandon Sullivan have both been tabbed 2017 Campbell Trophy finalists, making them the first two players in Sun Belt Conference history to be named an NFF National Scholar-Athlete.
