Atlanta, GA – August 3, 2023 – The Wuerffel Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to inspire greater service and unity in our communities, today announced The Wuerffel Trophy watch list for the 2023 season, and MTSU's Teldrick Ross was one of 108 players from college football's Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) honored.

Ross, a senior out of Macon, Ga., was a second team all-conference pick last year after registering a career-best 77 tackles to go with 3.0 TFLs, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and a school record 20 pass breakups.

College Football's Premier Award for Community Service, and one of the most meaningful awards in collegiate sports, The Wuerffel Trophy is named after Danny Wuerffel, the 1996 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from the University of Florida who parlayed his success on the football field into a lifetime of service.
