Ball Named to 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas defensive lineman Cam Ball has been named to the watch list for the 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy, the Wuerffel Foundation announced Thursday.

Widely regarded as college football’s premier award for community service, the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy celebrates student-athletes who use their platforms to serve others and create positive change. Named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winner and University of Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel, who turned his football success into a lifelong mission of service, the award reflects his legacy of leadership and humanitarianism. This year marks the 21st anniversary of the trophy’s founding.

It marks the second consecutive year Ball has appeared on the watch list. He has been involved in numerous community service events during his time on The Hill, in addition to hosting an annual football camp in his hometown, giving back to youth in the Atlanta metro area.

Ball is one of the most experienced players on the Razorbacks’ roster, with 39 games played and 20 starts during his collegiate career. He started all 13 games as a redshirt junior in 2024 while registering a career-high 47 tackles, including four for loss and 1.5 sacks. The Atlanta product also tallied two quarterback hurries and a fumble recovery. He registered five tackles and a quarterback hurry during the Hogs’ Liberty Bowl win over Texas Tech (Dec. 27) and a career-high seven tackles, including one for loss in the regular-season finale at Missouri (Nov. 30). Ball also played a significant role in the Razorbacks’ 58-25 win at Mississippi State (Oct. 26) with a fumble recovery, three total tackles and an assisted sack.

The 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy finalists and recipient will be selected by a national voting committee, with input from a fan vote. The 2025 recipient will also serve as Captain of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and will be announced live on The Home Depot College Football Awards show on Dec. 12, airing on ESPN. The Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Presentation Gala will follow on Jan. 31, 2026, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.

Arkansas reports for fall camp today with the first workout set for Friday morning. The Razorbacks kick off the 2025 season on Saturday, Aug. 30, when they welcome Alabama A&M to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium for a 3:15 p.m. matchup on SEC Network.
