National Scholar-Athletes

National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award In 1959, The National Football Foundation unveiled an entirely new concept in college football -- it’s National Scholar-Athlete program. In the history of American sports, this was the first time an organization honored football players, not only for their athletic ability, but also for their academic and civic leadership. The Foundation’s National Scholar-Athlete Awards program consists of graduate fellowships that are awarded on an annual basis to a select group of college football players in their senior year of eligibility who have demonstrated outstanding academic success, exemplary community leadership and superior football performance. LSU has had seven players named as a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete, including Rudy Niswanger, who claimed the 2005 Draddy Trophy, which goes to college football’s most outstanding student-athlete.
