The AFCA Good Works Team is comprised of collegiate football players who make an impact not only on the field but in their communities. Nominees have demonstrated their compassion for others through natural disaster relief efforts and other community service activities. These student-athletes have also demonstrated the exceptional ability to balance academics and athletics.
