NORTHBROOK, Ill. – Syracuse senior linebacker Hernz Laguerre is a nominee for the 2015 Allstate American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good Works Team®. Laguerre is one of a record 197 nominees, released by the association on Tuesday, July 14.
Since its inception in 1992, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® has recognized college football players from across the country who exemplify a superior commitment to community service and volunteerism. The select group of student-athletes nominated for this award by their respective colleges and universities are able to balance academics and athletics while remaining committed to helping others and bettering their communities.
