Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Semifinalist - Nick Dawkins 🏆

Congratulations to our Allstate Wuerffel Trophy semifinalist from pennstatefball , nickdawk ! Nick’s commitment to giving back shines through his role as President of his family foundation: The Dawkins Family Foundation. Nick launched the “Book Bag Drive” to help kids get the school supplies they need. Through this drive, students receive two backpacks—one for school, and one for sports—ensuring they can succeed academically and athletically without insecurity. To date, Nick and his foundation have provided 525 backpacks and thousands of school supplies.

Nick’s dedication to service was heavily inspired by his father’s legacy. Reflecting on his late father, a former NBA player, Nick shared, “Everyone who talked to me at his funeral brought up the kind of man he was for what he did after basketball.” Motivated by his father’s impact off the court, Nick has embraced these same values in his own life.

Nick encourages younger teammates to serve others with a powerful message: “You will be remembered, yes as an athlete for what you contributed on the field. But what’s more important is your character and how people remember you as a person…All of the service you’ve done and all the energy you poured out into the world, you get right back.”

Help us congratulate Nick for his outstanding service and leadership! #AllstateWuerffelTrophy
