Nebraska Defensive Lineman Ben Stille Named to Wuerffel Trophy Watch List

Well another Nebraska player has made another trophy watch list. At first glance I thought of Danny Weurffel, the former Florida Gator quarterback, who got beaten down by the greatest team in the history of college football.

The 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers.

So I thought it was odd that a defensive lineman would be on a watch list for a trophy named after a quarterback. Well it appears there is more to it than naming a trophy after a guy who was embarrassed to the tune of 62 - 24.

Here is the statement from the University:

University of Nebraska defensive lineman Ben Stille was recognized for his work in the Lincoln community on Friday, as he was named to the Wuerffel Trophy watch list.
