Desmond Morgan named semifinalist for Campbell Trophy
"Fifth-year senior linebacker Desmond Morgan of the University of Michigan football team has been named a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell trophy, it was announced Thursday (Sept. 24). The award, which was established in 1959, recognizes an individual as the best football scholar-athlete in the nation. The award was the first initiative in history to honor scholar-athletes with postgraduate scholarships for their combined athletic, academic and leadership abilities. Morgan was a semifinalist for the NFF William V. Campbell Trophy last season as well.
Morgan, a native of Holland, Michigan, is a three-year letterman for the Wolverines and has appeared in 40 games at linebacker, making 34 starts. In his career, he has a team-leading 235 tackles, 15 tackles-for-loss, 3.5 sacks, one interception, two fumble recoveries and six passes broken up."

Would be the second Wolverine/West Ottawa Panther in a row to win. Coincidence? Seriously, Renes was the guest speaker at the W.O. fall sports kickoff, and he gave a pretty inspirational lecture to the players about academic excellence. It was also fun to watch all of his accolades projected behind him while so many Spartyfan parents frowned.

Good for him. Glad he's been able to bounce back from last year's injury.
