July 17, 2025 | Football
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville defensive line Clev Lubin are among a record-breaking 197 nominees for the 2025 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, it was announced today.
College football student-athletes and head coaches from all levels of the sport are recognized for their commitment to community service and leadership beyond the gridiron.
"I've been a part of this team, and these players aren't just showing up, they're standing out," said Sam Acho, ESPN analyst, former NFL linebacker, author and 2010 Good Works Team member and Allstate Wuerffel Trophy recipient. "Their commitment to service creates lasting change and inspires the next generation."
Lubin is in his first season with the Cardinals after transferring from Coastal Carolina. Last season, Lubin finished sixth on the team with 44 tackles, which earned him first team All-Sun Belt Conference accolades. The native of Suffern, N.Y., led the team with 12.0 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks, which ranked 16th nationally in sacks. He posted four games with multiple sacks.
For the second year, Allstate is partnering with the Wuerffel Foundation to align two of college football's most meaningful honors: the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy. Together, they recognize student-athletes who demonstrate excellence in community service, academics and athletics.
"When nearly 200 young athletes choose to serve, it creates a ripple effect far beyond the game," said Danny Wuerffel, former NFL quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner and College Football Hall of Famer for whom the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy is named. "Their leadership in the community is just as worthy of recognition as their performance on the field."
The final roster of 23 award recipients announced in September will bring together:
- 11 players from the NCAA FBS
- 11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), Divisions II, III and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
- 1 honorary head coach
A voting panel of former Good Works Team members, head coaches and journalists select the team roster based on outstanding leadership on and off the field.
