RUSTON – The Wuerffel Foundation announced its Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List for the 2025 season, consisting of a record 116 nominees including Louisiana Tech's
Eli Finley.
The Wuerfell Trophy recognizes college football players across the Football Bowl Subdivision who exemplify community service, academic excellence and athletic achievement.
Finely, a junior tight end from Heath, Texas, played and started in all 13 games last season while earning All-CUSA Honorable Mention honors. He recorded 25 receptions for 314 yards and two touchdowns, while ranking third on the team in all three categories.
Named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winner and University of Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel, who turned his football success into a lifelong mission of service, the award reflects his legacy of leadership and humanitarianism. This year marks the 21
st anniversary of the trophy's founding.
The 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy finalists and recipient will be selected by a national voting committee, with input from a fan vote. The 2025 recipient will also serve as Captain of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and will be announced live on The Home Depot College Football Awards show on December 12th, airing on ESPN.
