UW-Oshkosh’s Schwable and UW-Stout’s Moen Selected Semifinalists For William V. Campbell Trophy

IRVING, Texas--University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh’s Clayton Schwable and UW-Stout’s Adam Moen have been selected semifinalist for the 2025 William V. Campbell Trophy®. The award is given by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. The duo is among the 178 overall – and 33 NCAA Division III – semifinalists for the honor.
 
Celebrating its 36th year, the award recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership. The NFF will announce 12-to-16 finalists on Oct. 22, and each of them will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the 2025 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class Presented by Fidelity Investments. Later this year, one member of the class will be declared as the winner of the 36th Campbell Trophy®, having his postgraduate scholarship increased to $25,000.
 
Nominated by their schools, which are limited to one nominee each, candidates for the awards must be a senior who will complete his final year of eligibility in the 2025 season or a graduate student or graduate transfer who has already earned a degree and is participating in the 2025 season; have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale; have outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant contributor; and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. The class is selected each year by the NFF Awards Committee, which is comprised of a nationally recognized group of media, College Football Hall of Famers and athletics administrators.
 
Named in honor of the late Bill Campbell, the trophy has been prominently displayed inside its official home at the New York Athletic Club since 2013, and the winner is honored each year during a special luncheon at the venue.
