DES MOINES, Iowa - Nathan Clayberg, a fifth-year senior defensive end on the Drake University football team, has been named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. The Pella, Iowa, native learned of his selection to the 22-person team during a surprise ceremony at St. Theresa Catholic School Friday, Sept. 14, during his weekly volunteer visit to read to classrooms there.
