Baylor Football’s Kyler Jordan Tabbed to Wuerffel Trophy Watch List

ATLANTA, Ga. – Baylor redshirt sophomore outside linebacker Kyler Jordan has been named to the 2024 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, as announced Thursday by the Wuerffel Foundation.

Jordan is one of 111 candidates nominated for this year’s award, which honors student-athletes who are inspired to serve others and make positive impacts on society. The Wuerffel Trophy is named after Danny Wuerffel, the 1996 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from the University of Florida who parlayed his success on the football field into a lifetime of service.

In his time away from the gridiron, Jordan has volunteered with No Limitations of Waco, served as a Huddle Leader at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes junior captains camp, and spent his time during the holiday season working with Pack of Hope and Christmas Kids of Waco.

The Lubbock native played in all 12 games as a redshirt freshman in 2023, including making six starts. He finished the season with 12 tackles, including half a stop for loss, and his first-career interception.

This year, the Wuerffel Foundation has partnered with Allstate to unify college football’s highest community service honors. Eleven of the Watch List nominees will be named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and will be Allstate Wuerffel Trophy semifinalists. The award’s finalists and recipient will be selected by an illustrious national voting committee, including a fan vote component, and announced on ESPN’s Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Dec. 12. The Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Presentation Gala will take place on Feb. 1, 2025, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, Ga.
