DT Albert Regis named to Wuerffel Trophy preseason watchlist

Good player. Good dude.

Texas A&M’s Albert Regis was named to the preseason watch list for the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy, college football’s premier award for community service, the Wuerffel Foundation announced Thursday morning.

Regis has played in 23 games over the last two seasons. The La Porte, Texas, native made 15 tackles last season, including 2.5 for loss as a key reserve on the Aggies’ highly-productive defensive line. Regis helped Texas A&M boast the best rush defense (108.8) in the SEC and rank third in the league in total defense (316.2) last season.

Away from the field, Regis has helped hand out gift bags to pediatric cancer patients at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston. He dedicated more than 40 hours of service at Twin City Mission in Bryan. Regis has also spent time speaking to several elementary schools in the area about the importance of education and doing your best in everything you pursue.

The Allstate Wuerffel Trophy is named after Danny Wuerffel, the 1996 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from the University of Florida who parlayed his success on the football field into a lifetime of service. The Allstate Wuerffel Trophy embodies Wuerffel’s commitment to being a humanitarian, while honoring student-athletes who are inspired to serve others and make positive impacts on society. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Trophy’s founding, and the Foundation will recognize the first nineteen recipients throughout the fall season.

Eleven of the watch list nominees will be named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and will be Allstate Wuerffel Trophy semifinalists. The 2024 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy finalists and recipient will be selected by an illustrious national voting committee, including a fan vote component, and announced on ESPN’s Home Depot College Football Awards Show on December 12th. The Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Presentation Gala will take place Feb. 1, 2025, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
