The trophy is awarded every season to the college football player that best combines community service, academics and athletic achievement. Badgers have now been nominated for the award in back-to-back years after former Wisconsin defensive back Madison Cone was named to the watch list last season.
Although this is not the most athletic performance-based award, it highlights the lasting impact of a players’ hard work and dedication in the classroom and around the community.
