PISCATAWAY, N.J. ā Rutgers football QB Noah Vedral earned a spot on the Allstate American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good Works TeamĀ® released Wednesday. The nominees are based on exemplary community service, academic dedication and impact on and off the field.
Recently named a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar for the third time, Vedral is a graduate student working towards a master's degree in communication, information and media. He was also a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy last season, which recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation, and posted a 3.96 GPA as an undergraduate.
Vedral has been involved in numerous community service projects for Chop4Change, a Rutgers football initiative to spread a message of unity and equality. Recent events Vedral has participated in include the Special Olympics opening ceremony and Saturdays in Motion at the YMCA Somerset Hills. It is the longest running recreational program in the United States for children with autism and their families. In addition, he was part of raising money for Easter dinner gift cards for families in need. At the bowl game, the Nebraska native took part in packing bags of food with special notes of encouragement to children.
On the field, Vedral started all 13 games and passed for 1,823 yards last season, the most by a Scarlet Knight since 2015. The quarterback added 297 rushing yards, including a go-ahead 15-yard touchdown run in the win at Illinois. The total offense of 163.1 yards per game ranked eighth in the Big Ten. He collected the Bender Award, an honor presented to the player who has demonstrated an exceptionally high level of mental and physical toughness throughout the season, and was a winner of the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award in 2021.
Vedral ranks ninth in program history with 316 completions and 10th with 3,566 yards of total offense.
