Hasquet Named a Semifinalist for the 2014 William V. Campbell Trophy

IRVING, Texas – Northern Arizona senior linebacker Austin Hasquet has been named a semifinalist for 2014 William V. Campbell Trophy, presented by The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF). In the 25th anniversary of the award, Hasquet is one of 167 semifinalists.

Hasquet, a biomedical science major with a 3.97 grade point average is set to graduate in three and a half years this December. He has made the Dean's List every semester and earned 2013 CoSIDA Academic All-American honors for his outstanding performance on the field and in the classroom. He is a three-time Golden Eagle Scholar-Athlete and three-time Big Sky All-Academic honoree. A native of Peoria, Ariz., Hasquet was named to the 2013 All-Big Sky Third Team and 2013 College Sports Madness All-Big Sky Third Team.

The award recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation, and up to 16 of the candidates will be named recipients of a prestigious NFF National Scholar-Athlete Award, also presented by Fidelity Investments. Launched in 1959, the NFF National Scholar-Athlete program awards $18,000 scholarships that can be used for the honorees' postgraduate educations. This year's recipients will be announced Oct. 30, and one will be declared the winner of the Campbell Trophy Dec. 9 at the 57th NFF Annual Awards Dinner.

Nominated by their schools, which are limited to one nominee each, candidates for the awards must be a senior or graduate student in their final year of eligibility, have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant contributor and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. The class is selected each year by the NFF Awards Committee, which is comprised of a nationally recognized group of media, College Football Hall of Famers and athletics administrators.
