Utah State senior center Quin Ficklin was announced as one of 10 semifinalists for the 2018 Burlsworth Trophy, given annually to the most outstanding FBS college football player who began his career as a walk-on.
The award is named for Brandon Burlsworth, who walked on at Arkansas in 1994, became a three-year starter and was eventually named an All-American in 1998.
Ficklin has started all 22 games of his Aggie career. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound native of Mesa, Arizona, transferred to Utah State from BYU prior to the start of the 2017 campaign.
