After being named to the nominee list for the 2016 Allstate Good Works Team® earlier in the day, Tulsa senior quarterback Dane Evans also made the preseason watch list as one of 88 candidates for the Wuerffel Trophy, as announced today.
The Wuerffel Trophy, known as "College Football's Premier Award for Community Service," is presented annually by the All Sports Association in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Danny Wuerffel from the University of Florida, the Wuerffel Trophy is awarded to the FBS player that best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.
