Wake Forest linebacker Hunter Williams is up for a unique award at the end of the year.
Wake Forest senior linebacker Hunter Williams has been named as a Burlsworth Trophy Semi-Finalist, awarded annually to the most outstanding football player in America who began his career as a walk-on.
He is one of ten players invited to attend a ceremony in Springdale, Arkansas on December 7th.
Scanning the names on the list, Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield jumps out at me as the favorite to take him the title, but it is quite the honor to be mentioned and named a semi-final on a list like this.
