Oregon QB Bo Nix Awarded 34th William V. Campbell Trophy for Nation’s Top Student-Athlete

University of Oregon quarterback Bo Nix has been named the 34th recipient of the William V. Campbell Trophy during the 65th National Football Foundation Annual Awards Dinner Presented by Las Vegas.
 
The Campbell Trophy ranks as one of college football's most sought after and competitive awards, recognizing an individual as the absolute best in the country for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership. Awarded since 1990, the 24-inch, 25-pound bronze trophy comes with a $25,000 postgraduate scholarship.

"Bo Nix is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, and his competitive drive on the field extends to the classroom where he has already graduated magna cum laude and is currently working on a master's degree," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning, whose sons, Peyton (Campbell Trophy recipient) and Eli, were NFF National Scholar-Athletes in 1997 and 2003, respectively. "He embodies everything the Campbell Trophy represents, and we are extremely pleased to add his name to our history books."
