It’s not all about football.
Watch list season continued today with the unveiling of the Wuerffel Trophy roll call. The award honoring the player who best exemplifies outstanding community service, success on the football field, and success in the classroom, features six players from the Mountain West.
The life changing impact of thinking of others before ourselves is so rewarding, and it's truly inspiring to see so many student-athletes recognize this and use their platform for good. pic.twitter.com/yyPq7xN9fY
