TicketsCINCINNATI - University of Cincinnati senior offensive lineman Garrett Campbell (Cincinnati, Ohio/St. Xavier) was one of 169 nominees for the 2018 Allstate/AFCA Good Works Team®.
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.
Campbell is a regular representative in the community, organizing groups of UC football players to make monthly visits to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, volunteering at other local hospitals, participating in after-school programs, big brother programs and reading to local school children. He started his UC career as a walk-on in 2013, working his way towards earning a scholarship prior to the 2017 season. He started 12 games a year ago for the Bearcats, a key part of an offensive line unit which surrendered nine less sacks than it did in 2016, ranking among the top half of the American Athletic Conference.
Former UC quarterback Jordan Luallen was tabbed as a member of the team in 2013.
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 2018.
