ATLANTA - San José State defensive back Jalen Apalit-Williams was named to the 2024 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy watch list, announced by Allstate and the Wuerffel Foundation on Thursday. Earlier this offseason, Apalit-Wlliams was nominated for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
The Allstate Wuerffel Trophy, college football’s premier award for community service, is presented annually to the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) player, who best combines exemplary community service with leadership and performance on and off the field. Named after Heisman Trophy winner and College Football Hall of Famer Danny Wuerffel, the award honors the former NFL quarterback’s commitment to inspiring greater service and unity in the world.
“Our partnership with Allstate and the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team builds upon the purposeful impact of these awards,” said Wuerffel. “We want to inspire college athletes to be community-minded, live for others, and sacrifice their own interests for the benefit of other people.”
