No Gator game today, so I figured we could talk about another trophy Tim Tebow is up for. Tim was named a semifinalist for the 2009 William V. Campbell Trophy, formerly known as the Draddy Trophy, Thursday by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. This trophy is pretty much known as the “Academic Heisman”. To qualify, a player must be a senior, needs at least a 3.2 GPA, has outstanding football ability and strong leadership and citizenship. You know Tim has all of those.

“On the heels of our recent announcement to rename our top scholar-athlete award in honor of Bill Campbell, we are incredibly proud to select the next winner from this remarkable group of semifinalists,” said NFF Chairman Archie Manning. “As one of the nation’s most influential business leaders, Bill Campbell is a powerful example of football’s unique ability to build leadership qualities in our young people. The semifinalists for the Campbell Trophy have already built track records that place them squarely in his footsteps.”

In case you’re wondering, Tebow has a 3.66 GPA and is majoring in Family, Youth & Community Sciences at UF. He is currently enrolled in only one class right now and will earn his degree at the end of December.
