Josh Williams named to Wuerffel Trophy preseason watch list
LSU running back Josh Williams has been named to the preseason watch list for the Wuerffel Trophy.
The Trophy, which is named after former Florida Heisman-winning quarterback Danny Wuerffel, is the top award in college football for community service. LSU center Rudy Niswanger won the first Wuerffel Trophy back in 2005.
Williams joined the team as a walk-on in 2019 and ultimately earned a scholarship during the 2021 season. He became LSU’s starting running back last fall, and though he battled injuries down the stretch, he led all Tigers backs with 532 yards in 2022.
A graduate student pursuing a master’s of business administration, Williams is a three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll selection.
