NORTHBROOK, Ill., September 23, 2014 – Allstate Insurance Company and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) today announced the roster for the 2014 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®. This prestigious college football award pays tribute to a select group of student-athletes who have worked to positively impact the lives of others. The 22 players honored with this distinct recognition have not only dedicated their time to succeeding on the field, but have made a commitment to enriching the lives of others while contributing to the greater good of their communities.

For more than two decades the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® has been one of the most esteemed awards in college sports. This summer, the program received a record 182 nominations from colleges and universities across the country. A voting panel comprised of former Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® members and college football media reviewed the nominees in an effort to select 11 players from the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and 11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, Divisions II, III and the NAIA to comprise the 22-player team.

“Allstate takes an immense amount of pride in working with the AFCA to recognize these student-athletes for their good works that have made a positive impact on communities across the country and, in some cases, across the world,” said Jim Haskins, president of Allstate’s West Territory and a member of the 2014 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® voting panel. “Allstate is a proud supporter of NCAA football and it is an honor to award these young men for inspiring us all with their character and work ethic both on and off the field.”

The following players have been selected to the 2014 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®:

It is quite disappointing that unless you were looking for it you never would have know about it. These are the small things that no one in this Athletic Department pushes. Would have been very easy to not only show it to everyone but congratulate him as well.

So basically your saying 1 article 4 months ago is suffice, Instead of making it known that he would be at the Sugar Bowl accepting the accolade?

As others said par for the course.

Well...Wyoming currently gets the D sucked by State Farm. So there is that.

Not sure which is worse...Allstate & State Farm...or the fact UW is such huge "friendly ladies".

More like a T bag. Because Allstate is an NCAA thing, not a UW thing.
