Jalen Geiger is a candidate for an award given to college football’s top community servant. On Thursday the Kentucky safety was selected to the Wuerffel Award Watch List.
Named after the 1996 Heisman Trophy-winner from Florida, the Wuerffel Trophy honors college football players who serve others, celebrate their positive impact on society and inspire greater service in the world. Linebacker Courtney Love was the recipient in 2017. Geiger has also been nominated to the Allstate Good Works Team.
The defensive back grew up in a military family, and that meant attending six different schools from K-12.
