The William V. Campbell Trophy is given to the most outstanding scholar athlete every year and it is considered to be the "Academic Heisman".
Herbert was one of 12 finalists that included Georgia K Rodrigo Blankenship and Stanford LB Casey Toohill. He had the highest GPA in the group with a 4.01 while majoring in General Science.
Herbert is the first winner from the University of Oregon in the award's history. Past winners include Peyton Manning (1997), Tim Tebow (2009), Sam Acho (2010), and last year's winner, Christian Wilkins.
