Introducing the 2026 William V. Campbell Trophy® finalists and NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class Presented by @Fidelity.
These 18 student-athletes recognized for academic achievement, football performance, leadership and service.
Greg Eslinger and his dad put his high school highlights on VHS and mailed copies to college coaches. @GopherFootball sent back a camp invitation.
Eslinger earned an offer at that camp and went on to become the nation’s top center. Hear what football has meant to the former Golden Gopher in his I Played story.
In 21 seasons as head coach, Gary Patterson led @TCUFootball to six conference championships and 11 seasons with at least 10 wins. His 181 victories are the most in school history.
On Dec. 8 in Las Vegas, @FBCoachP will be inducted into the NFF College Football Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2026.

Jim Margraff spent 29 seasons coaching his alma mater. In his final season, he took @JHU_Football further than it had ever gone, leading the Blue Jays to their first NCAA Division III semifinal.
On Dec. 8, the winningest coach in program history will be inducted posthumously into the NFF College Football Hall of Fame.
This Veterans Day, as America marks its 250th anniversary, the National Football Foundation honors the millions of Americans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Long before he chaired the NFF’s National Advisory Board, General Douglas MacArthur managed the @ArmyWP_Football team as a West Point cadet. When he returned as superintendent, he championed athletics as a way to prepare cadets to lead. Today, college football’s national champion receives the NFF MacArthur Bowl, which bears his name.
To all who have worn our nation’s uniform, thank you for your service.
Ki-Jana Carter averaged 7.2 yards per carry over three seasons with @PennStateFball. The unanimous All-American finished his college career with 2,829 rushing yards and 34 rushing touchdowns.

On Saturday, Olin Kreutz @olin_kreutz was honored by UW Athletic Director Pat Chun as the 13th Husky player inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame
Kreutz set the standard at center from 1995 to 1997, and it carried him from Montlake to 14 NFL seasons and six Pro Bowls.
The Honolulu native arrived as UW’s Freshman of the Year in 1995 and left as a consensus All-American and Morris Trophy winner in 1997. Kruetz was inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame in 2016.
For @FSUFootball fans, No. 28 belongs to @WarrickDunn. The next name to remember is one they already know by heart.

STATEMENT FROM JACK CAMPBELL
My family and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and support we’ve received over the past few days. It means more to us than words can express.
I’m incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better.
My faith in God has never been stronger. I know He has a plan for me, and I trust in that plan. I know there may be challenges ahead, but with my faith, my family, and so many people in my corner, I know we’ll get through this.
I especially want to thank the athletic trainers and medical personnel who responded and cared for me on the field. I know those were difficult moments, and I’m incredibly grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and care you showed me. The way you handled everything and looked after me when I needed it most is something I’ll never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I also can’t say enough about the incredible care I’ve received from the medical team at Henry Ford Hospital and the Detroit Lions medical staff. They’ve been amazing to me and my family throughout this process, and I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done.
To my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the Lions organization, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. This team is a family to me, and the way everyone has been there for me means everything. I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion and couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of people.
One thing I’ve learned about Detroit is that this city is built on toughness, resilience, and grit. That’s exactly how I’m going to approach this challenge.
Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. We feel the love, and I can’t thank everyone enough.
God is good. My faith is strong.
Jack Campbell
