July 31, 2025 | Football
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State long snapper Dylan Black was named to the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, recognizing college football players from across the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) who exemplify community service, academic excellence and athletic achievement.
Widely regarded as college football's premier award for community service, the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy celebrates student-athletes who use their platforms to serve others and create positive change. Named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winner and University of Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel, who turned his football success into a lifelong mission of service, the award reflects his legacy of leadership and humanitarianism. This year marks the 21st anniversary of the trophy's founding.
The 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy finalists and recipient will be selected by a national voting committee, with input from a fan vote. The 2025 recipient will also serve as Captain of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and will be announced live on The Home Depot College Football Awards show on December 12, airing on ESPN. The Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Presentation Gala will follow on January 31, 2026, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
Black, a redshirt senior from Reno, Nev., has played in 46 games at Oregon State and was a semifinalist for the Witten Man of the Year Award in 2024.
He participated in Beavers Without Borders and traveled to the Dominican Republic where they helped build a new floor on the orphanage building to house more children. Black also volunteered at the Fun Run 2025 ran by St Jude Children's Hospital to help raise money and participated in Dam Able to assist members of the community with disabilities.
