The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame announced today that Wolfpack quarterback Ryan Finley has been named a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy. This prestigious honor annually recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation.
Selected from a nationwide pool of 179 semifinalists from among all NCAA divisions and the NAIA, Finley is one of 13 finalists and is the only member of the 2018 Scholar-Athlete Class who has already earned his master’s degree. He is the first NC State student-athlete to be named to the NFF National Scholar-Athlete class since 1981.
