Safran, Weller finalists for Draddy Mount Union center Eric Safran and Illinois College defensive back Jake Weller have been named finalists for the Draddy Trophy, emblematic of the top scholar-athlete in college football. Each will receive a post-graduate scholarship, and one of the 15 finalists, 13 from other levels of the NCAA, will receive the Draddy Trophy. Established to honor former NFF Chairman Vincent dePaul Draddy, a Manhattan College quarterback who developed the Izod and Lacoste brands, the award comes with a stunning 24-inch, 25-pound bronze trophy and increases the winner's scholarship to a total of $25,000. The Draddy Trophy has been awarded to a non-Division I-A player just once, when Brandon Roberts of Washington U. earned the honor for the 2002 season. Safran has already been named to the 2007 ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA First-Team Academic College Division District 4 All-Region squad. Weller, who has a 4.0 GPA and majors in biology and chemistry, serves on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee and as treasurer of the Beta Beta Beta Academic Honor Society. He volunteered at Camp Care A Lot and the Special Olympics and was a member of the Students Crossing Borders fundraising committee. | |||
