MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – A maroon and gold contingent will head to New York’s famed Waldorf Astoria on Tuesday for what could be a historic night for Central Michigan football.
Cooper Rush could become the first Central Michigan student-athlete to receive the coveted William V. Campbell Trophy, which goes to the top scholar-athlete in college football, at the 59th National Football Foundation Annual Awards Dinner.
Rush, CMU’s senior quarterback, is one of 12 finalists for the prestigious award. He was named a NFF National Scholar-Athlete last month, becoming just the second such honoree in program history.
