Jack Kiser has had a fantastic graduate season for Notre Dame both on and off the field. The linebacker already has been named a finalist for the Campbell Trophy, which honors players for on-field performance, academic performance and community service. Now, he can add being a finalist for another trophy to his resume.
Kiser has been named one of three finalists for the Wuerffel Trophy alongside Penn State offensive lineman Nick Dawkins and Washington State kicker Dean Janikowski. This award is given to the player “who best combines exemplary community service with leadership achievement on and off the field”. The winner will be announced live on ESPN on Dec. 12 and be invited to the Heisman Trophy festivities.
If Kiser were to win this award, he would be the second Notre Dame player to be so honored after fellow linebacker Drue Tranquill in 2018. Here’s the video the Irish released after he became a semifinalist:
Best of luck to Kiser as a finalist for both trophies he is up for.
