VOTE! Help Wolfpack Football players win national awards
Ok State fans, it’s that time again. The Pack is calling on you to help get some of our guys some national awards. They have opened it up to fan voting and if I know one thing, it’s that Wolfpacks fans never let their guys lose. So share this, post this, and get in here and vote.
Here are the 3 polls that are currently open:
A.J. COLE, III (Allstate/AFCA Good Works Team Captain)
NC State junior punter A.J. Cole III has been named to the 2017 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®. This award shines a spotlight on selflessness and community service and honors dedication to volunteerism and enriching the lives of others.
Cole and the 21 others named to the team will be invited to New Orleans to participate in a special community service project ahead of the 2018 Allstate® Sugar Bowl®, where the entire team will also be recognized on the field at halftime.
The winner of the fan vote will be named the captain of the team!
JAYLEN SAMUELS (Biletnikoff Award Fan Vote)
Two days after being named an ESPN Midseason All-American as a tight end, senior Jaylen Samuels was been named to the watch list for the Biletnikoff Award – which honors the nation’s top receiver.
Created and sponsored by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the outstanding receiver in college football. Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes the outstanding receiver, not merely the outstanding wide receiver.
Recently, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation opened the 2017 FanVote and FanForum. Every fan may vote once daily on the Biletnikoff Award FanVote page. The aggregate fan tally will be counted as one official vote to determine semi-finalists (10 receivers), finalists (three), and the winner. In the closest contest in years, the FanVote tally provided the one-vote margin of victory for 2013 winner Brandin Cooks of Oregon State.
NYHEIM HINES (HERO Sports Hero of the Week)
HERO of the Week is the award for best individual performance of the week in each division of several NCAA sports. Nominees are posted at the beginning of each week and a fan vote determines the winner.
Nyheim Hines was nominated for his performance at Pitt – where he became the first player THIS CENTURY to have 80+ yard rushing and punt return touchdowns in the same game.
