Terrance Newman Named To Wuerffel Trophy Watch List

ATLANTA (SMU) – Mustang Terrance Newman was today named SMU's nominee for The Wuerffel Trophy, College Football's Premier Award for Community Service.

Named after Danny Wuerffel, the 1996 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from the University of Florida, the Wuerffel Trophy is presented each February in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The trophy honors college football players who serve others, celebrate their positive impact on society and inspire greater service in the world.

Newman works with the Détente Collective, where he serves as the Homelessness Initiative Chair. Along with former Mustang student-athletes Shaine Hailey and Ra-Sun Kazadi and current teammate Sam Westfall, the organization seeks to provide the resources in communities to foster economic, educational, social and personal growth.

As part of the Homelessness Initiative, Newman works with Hailey to serve the local Dallas homeless population in a variety of ways. The duo makes meals to distribute in Deep Ellum and Downtown Dallas, and hosts bimonthly volunteer events to pack supply bags to distribute around DFW that include essentials like hygiene supplies, snacks, water and other necessities.

Hailey was SMU's nominee for the award in 2021. The Mustangs have had a student-athlete on the list each year dating back to 2017 (Shane Buechele 2020, Tyler Page 2019, Jordan Wyatt 2018, Justin Lawler 2017).

Newman has also volunteered with the SMU football team at the Dallas Children's Hospital and on a local farm with his position group.

He saw action in all 12 games in 2021, registering eight tackles, a blocked kick and a quarterback hurry.

Semifinalists for the award will be announced on Nov. 1, with finalists to follow on Nov. 22. The formal announcement of the 2022 recipient will be made Dec. 8, with the presentation on Feb. 24.
