CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati graduate linebacker Wilson Huber has been named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team preseason list, honoring student-athletes with exemplary community service, academic dedication and impact on and off the field.

Huber has been a leader in community service, visiting hospitals, mentoring elementary students and participating in school read-a-thons. He was also named to the Wuerffel Trophy watch list on Thursday.

Huber has already earned a bachelor's and master's degree from UC while earning his real estate license this summer. The Indianapolis native appeared in all 14 games as a reserve linebacker and special-teams ace, registering 15 tackles (nine solo) with four TFLs and three sacks, including a heavy presence on third-down packages. He also recovered a fumble on a kickoff at Notre Dame and blocked a punt against SMU, in addition to sacks against Temple and SMU, plus a TFL versus UCF. He also picked up a sack on Heisman Trophy-winning QB Bryce Young against No. 1 Alabama in the College Football Semifinals at the 86th Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.

Huber also collected CoSIDA Academic All-District honors and was named the Cotton Bowl's Dan S. Petty Scholar-Athlete Award honoree for UC.
