Deuce Wallace Named a Wuerffel Trophy Nominee

LAFAYETTE – Senior defensive back Deuce Wallace has been named a Wuerffel Trophy nominee, the national award announced in a press release on Friday afternoon.

Wallace, whose name also appeared on the watch list during the 2018 season, is one of 98 nominees named to the community-service driven award.

The Lafayette native has participated in numerous community service opportunities during his time as a Ragin' Cajun, including the Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana, Adopt-A-Family, St. Jude Hospital Visits and more.

On the field, has appeared in all seven of Louisiana's games, making three starts. In those games, he has recorded eight tackles, one of which was for a one-yard loss.

Semifinalists for the award will be announced on Nov. 5, 2019, with finalists announced on Nov. 18, 2019. The formal announcement of the 2019 Wuerffel Trophy recipient is scheduled to be made on Dec. 10, 2019 at the National Football Foundation's festivities in New York City.

The Wuerffel Trophy, known as "College Football's Premier Award for Community Service," is awarded to the student-athlete that combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.

Following its bye week, Louisiana returns to action on Saturday, Nov. 2, when it welcomes Texas State to Cajun Field for Homecoming. Kickoff is slated for 4:00 p.m. (CST) on ESPN+.
