Senior running back Jordan Fuller has been named a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, as announced by the National Football Foundation this week. 

Now in its 35th year being presented, the Campbell Trophy recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership.

A team captain for the Crusaders, Fuller is the school record holder in rushing touchdowns, with 44 in his career. In 37 career games, Fuller has totaled 2,092 rushing yards. In 2023, he led the nation and set a program record with 18 rushing touchdowns and was the FCS statistical champion in scoring, averaging 11.4 points per game after totaling 19 touchdowns. 

He earned All-America honors from FCS Football Central and the Associated Press in 2023, in addition to All-New England and All-ECAC honors. He received the Agganis-Zimman Award from the New England Football Writers, which is presented to the most outstanding college player in New England. In his career, Fuller is a two-time All-Patriot League honoree and a four-time Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week selection. 

Fuller was named an Academic All-American by the College Sports Communicators in 2023. He is a two-time Academic All-District, Academic All-Patriot League and Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar Award selection; he has been named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll three times. 

He is a member of the Holy Cross Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, a volunteer mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters in Worcester, and a member of Holy Cross' Economics Academic Advisory Committee. 

Holy Cross has had two finalists for the Campbell Trophy in back-to-back years: Peter Oliver (2022) and Jacob Dobbs (2023). This year, the NFF will announce 12-14 finalists on Oct. 23, and each of them will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the 2024 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class Presented by Fidelity Investments. The finalists will travel to the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas for the 66th NFF Annual Awards Dinner Presented by Las Vegas on Dec. 10, where their accomplishments will be highlighted in front of one of the most powerful audiences in all of sports. Live during the event, one member of the class will be declared as the winner of the 35th Campbell Trophy and have his postgraduate scholarship increased to $25,000.
