BATON ROUGE – LSU junior long snapper Blake Ferguson has been named to the watch list for The Wuerffel Trophy, known as College Football’s Premier Award for Community Service.
The Wuerffel Trophy is the only major college football award that places the majority of its voting emphasis on community service with 50 percent or more of the committee’s decision when voting. The committee also weighs both academic and athletic accomplishment. LSU’s Rudy Niswanger, a kinesiology major with a 4.0 GPA, won the inaugural award in 2005.
Ferguson is a 2018 LSU graduate in marketing, a three-time Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll member and the Chair of the SEC Football Leadership Council.
