BOCA RATON, Fla. â€" Florida Atlantic University senior quarterback Jaquez Johnson has been named to the 2015 Wuerffel Award Watch List, as announced Wednesday.
Johnson, from Starkville, Miss., will return to start his third season under center. The dual-threat quarterback has etched himself in the FAU record books as a player who can take over the game either through the air or with his feet. He is among the single-season touchdown passing leaders (17) and has tallied the most single-season rushing touchdowns for an FAU quarterback with 10.
The Wuerffel Trophy, known as "College Football's Premier Award for Community Service," is presented annually by the All Sports Association in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Danny Wuerffel from the University of Florida, the Wuerffel Trophy is awarded to the FBS player that best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.
Semifinalists for the award will be announced on Nov. 3 and finalists will be announced on November 24. Formal announcement of the winner will be on December 8 at the National Football Foundation's press conference in New York City. The presentation of the 2015 Wuerffel Trophy will occur at the 47th Annual All Sports Association Awards Banquet on February 12, 2016 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
FAU opens the 2015 campaign with a road game at Tulsa on Sept. 5 before hosting Miami on Sept. 11. Tickets for the home opener against Miami are on sale now. To purchase a single-game ticket or season tickets, call 1-866-FAU-Owls or visit FAUsports.com. All home games will be televised and can be heard on ESPN 106.3 FM or on FAUsports.com.
