Heisman-Hopeful Riley Dixon Also Up for 2015 Wuerffel Trophy

Riley Dixon is the presumed Heisman Trophy winner this year. He'll also be in the running for the Wuerffel Trophy, which honors student-athletes who make a difference in community service.

If you've got an award, Riley Dixon should probably win it.

The Syracuse Orange punter is America's Darling and the frontrunner to win the Heisman Trophy this year, but there's more awards out there. One of which is the Wuerffel Trophy, which is awarded to the FBS player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement. Sounds like Riley to us.
