Campbell Trophy, endowed by HealthSouth DALLAS, October 29, 2009 – The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) today announced the 2009 National Scholar-Athlete class, who will vie as the finalists for the William V. Campbell Trophy, endowed by HealthSouth. Selected as the best and the brightest from the college gridiron, from a nationwide pool of 154 semifinalists among all NCAA divisions and the NAIA, the 16 members of the 2009 class are: SCHOLAR-ATHLETE POSITION SCHOOL GPA JON ASAMOAH OG University of Illinois 3.82 MATT BAUMAN LB Brigham Young University 3.91 ERIC DECKER WR University of Minnesota 3.42 MOSES HARRIS S Fresno State 3.56 TIM HILLER QB Western Michigan University 4.00 PAUL JASINOWSKI DT Brown University 3.70 BEAU KILDOW WR Morningside College (Iowa) 4.00 JOSH MAHONEY LB University of Northern Iowa 4.00 COLT MCCOY QB University of Texas 3.33 JARRELL NESMITH TE Tusculum College (Tenn.) 3.84 JOE PAWELEK LB Baylor University 3.71 TODD REESING QB University of Kansas 3.64 ZAVIOUS ROBBINS WR Hardin-Simmons University (Texas) 3.90 TIM TEBOW QB University of Florida 3.66 BLAINE WESTEMEYER OT Augustana College (Ill.) 3.93 REED WILLIAMS LB West Virginia University 3.86 “There is no doubt that this year’s class of NFF National Scholar-Athletes is one of the greatest of all time,” said NFF President & CEO Steven J. Hatchell . “Mediocrity is not in their lexicon in any aspect of their lives. They have exhibited the same drive to compete in the classroom that distinguished them on the field, and they have found the time to be leaders in their communities too. We will be very excited and proud to name one of these extraordinary young men the recipient of the 20 th Anniversary William V. Campbell Trophy on Dec. 8.” The NFF’s National Scholar-Athlete program, launched in 1959, is the first initiative in the history to award scholar-athletes post graduate scholarships for their combined athletic, academic and leadership abilities. This year’s class members finds themselves in good company, as former National Scholar-Athletes include NFL standout Derrick Brooks (Florida State); actor Mark Harmon (UCLA); NASA astronaut Leland Melvin (Richmond); former Dateline NBC anchor Stone Phillips (Yale); chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters Tournament, Billy Payne (Georgia); famed NFL quarterback Steve Young (BYU); and Heisman Trophy winners Terry Baker (Oregon State), Gary Beban (UCLA), Doug Flutie (Boston College) and Danny Wuerffel (Florida). Nominated by their schools, which are limited to one nominee each, candidates must be a senior or graduate student in their final year of eligibility, have a grade point average of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first team player and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. Selected by the NFF Awards Committee, the 16 National Scholar-Athlete Award recipients will be honored at the 2009 NFF Annual Awards Dinner December 8 at the Waldorf=Astoria in New York City. The event will also include the induction of the 2009 College Football Hall of Fame and the presentation of several major awards. “The 2009 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class boasts the highest average GPA in the history of our awards,” said NFF Chairman Archie Manning , whose sons Peyton (Campbell winner) and Eli were NFF National Scholar-Athletes in 1997 and 2003, respectively. “They are truly the best of the best among all college sports and the epitome of our mission to build leaders through football. Bob Mulcahy and the NFF Awards Committee should be credited for the research, time and commitment it took to select this outstanding group.” Each finalist will receive an $18,000 post-graduate scholarship, and one of the 16 will be announced as the recipient of the 20 th Anniversary William V. Campbell Trophy, endowed by HealthSouth (and formerly known as the Draddy Trophy), which recognizes an individual as the absolute best scholar-athlete in the nation. Renamed this fall in honor of Bill Campbell, the chairman of Intuit, former player and head coach at Columbia University and the 2004 recipient of the NFF’s Gold Medal, the award comes with a 25-pound bronze trophy and a $25,000 post-graduate scholarship. A total distribution of $300,000 in scholarships will be awarded that evening. 2009 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class Notes • 3.77 Average GPA, including three class members with a perfect 4.00 GPA • 16-of-16 Team Captains • 14-of-16 Academic All-Conference Athletes • 14-of-16 All-Conference Athletes • Seven ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Selections (Bauman, Mahoney, NeSmith, Pawelek, Tebow, Westemeyer, Williams) • Six All-America Picks (Kildow, McCoy, NeSmith, Pawelek, Tebow, Westemeyer) • One Heisman Trophy Winner (Tebow) • Five National Major Awards Won (McCoy, Tebow) • Three Bowl Game MVPs (McCoy – Alamo, Holiday and Tostitos Fiesta, Tebow – FedEx BCS National Championship, Williams – Tostitos Fiesta) • Five Members of Nationally Ranked Teams (Kildow, Mahoney, McCoy, Tebow, Williams) • Eight Members of Conference Championship Teams (Bauman, Jasinowski, Kildow, Mahoney, NeSmith, Tebow, Westemeyer, Williams) • Three Members of National Playoff Teams (Kildow, Mahoney, NeSmith) • Ten Offensive Players (Asamoah, Decker, Hiller, Kildow, McCoy, NeSmith, Reesing, Robbins, Tebow, Westemeyer) • Six Defensive Players (Bauman, Harris, Jasinowski, Mahoney, Pawelek, Williams) ABOUT HEALTHSOUTH HealthSouth is the nation's largest provider of inpatient rehabilitation services.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.
