NORTHBROOK, Ill. -- Arizona State senior quarterback Manny Wilkins has been tabbed as one of 169 nominees for the 2018 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® announced Tuesday morning by Allstate Insurance Company and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA).
The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® has been one of the most esteemed honors in college football for more than 25 years. The student-athletes who are nominated for this award not only demonstrate a unique dedication to community service and desire to make a positive impact on the lives around them, but they also show tremendous perseverance as well as the ability to overcome personal struggles and come out victorious against all odds.
Wilkins, along with the other 168 college football players who have been nominated this season, make it a priority to find time in their busy schedules to volunteer in meaningful ways. During his time as an Arizona State student-athlete, Wilkins has demonstrated leadership qualities both on and off the field through his evolvement with numerous activities through the Sun Devils Serve program. Most recently, Wilkins has worked to develop leadership initiatives for Sun Devil football, including setting up a summer community outreach program.
A special voting panel consisting of former Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® members and prominent college football media members will review submissions from sports directors across the nation to select the 2018 Good Works Team®. Tim Tebow, two-time national champion, Heisman Trophy winner and 2009 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® member, will once again headline the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® voting panel.
The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® is comprised of 11 players from the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and 11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, Divisions II, III and the NAIA and one honorary head coach. To be in consideration by Allstate and the AFCA for a nomination, each player must be actively involved with a charitable organization or service group while maintaining a strong academic standing.
The final roster of 22 award recipients and honorary head coach will be unveiled in September.
After the final team members are announced in September, college football fans can visit the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® official page on ESPN.com to view profiles and images of the players and honorary head coach, and vote for the 2018 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® Captain.
