The NFF will announce 12 to 14 finalists in November, and each of them will receive $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the 2020 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class with one winner of the 31st Campbell Trophy.

The Draper, Utah, native started his career with the Utes as a walk-on, earning a scholarship in the summer of 2018. He was listed as the co-No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart in 2019, seeing action in four games which included going a perfect 6-for-6 passing and 38 yards against Idaho State.
