106 players get consideration for award including BC’s Zach Allen
FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. - The Wuerffel Trophy announced its Watch List today of 106 players from college football's Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).  The Wuerffel Trophy, known as "College Football's Premier Award for Community Service," is presented annually in Fort Walton Beach. 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.  Boston College senior defensive end Zach Allen was named to the list. A finance major with a 3.7 GPA, Allen is one of the nation's top players on and off the field.  Allen captured Phil Steele Preseason All-America second-team accolades after one of the most dominating seasons by a defensive lineman a year ago. The New Canaan, Conn., native was just one of two defensive linemen nationally with 100 or more tackles in 2017. He finished the year with 100 tackles and led BC with six sacks and tied for 10th in BC single-season history with 15.5 TFLs. Allen was the recipient of the 79th annual George "Bulger" Lowe Award, "New England's Heisman Trophy" and one of America's oldest college football accolades last season. |
