LSU RB Josh Williams named to Wuerffel Award Watch List

LSU senior running back Josh Williams has been named to the Wuerffel Trophy watch list, the Wuerffel Foundation announced on Thursday.

The Wuerffel Trophy is the premier award for community service in all of college football and one of the most meaningful awards to be given in collegiate athletics. The trophy is named after former Florida quarterback and 1996 Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel, who parlayed his success on the football field into a lifetime of service.

The first recipient of the Wuerffel Trophy was LSU center Rudy Niswanger who won it in 2005

Williams started his career as a walk-on during LSU’s national championship season in 2019 and has since become a key member of LSU’s squad.
