There might not be Big Ten football this fall, but that doesn’t mean we can totally ignore WATCHLIST SZN.

The Campbell Trophy is a trophy awarded by the National Football Foundation that is given to the American college football player with the best combination of academics, community service, and on-field performance.
The award is also widely known as the “Academic Heisman.”
The following is from a Michigan State University release:
“A mechanical engineering major, Long has compiled a 3.61 grade-point average entering his senior year. The two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection and three-year letterwinner has played in 37 games during his career with 38 tackles, one pass break-up and one blocked punt.
As a junior in 2019, Long was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team and received MSU’s Downtown Coaches Club Award for most outstanding player on special teams. He had a career-high 16 tackles (13 solo, 3 assists), one pass break-up and one blocked punt in seeing action in all 13 games, including a team-best 12 tackles on special teams (four kickoff, eight punt).
Michigan State has had three Campbell Trophy finalists in the past nine years (Kirk Cousins, Max Bullough, Mike Sadler) and eight semifinalists (Cousins, Bullough, Sadler, Jack Allen, Josiah Price, Brian Allen, Khari Willis, and Cole Chewins.”
