Texas Longhorns senior Emmanuel Acho makes headlines again

In an update to my blog post on Emmanuel Acho in October, the Texas Longhorns football player has made headlines again!

Emmanuel Acho has been named a finalist for the 2011 Wuerffel Trophy, announced by the All Sports Association, Inc. The Wuerffel is presented to the college football player who best combines exemplary community service with outstanding academic and athletic achievement.

The Acho family makes some outstanding citizens! Emmanuel's brother, Sam, won the Wuerffel Trophy just last year!

In addition to this trophy and the award he is a finalist for that I wrote about in my October  blog, Emmanuel Acho is also a semifinalist for the 2011 Lott Trophy by the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation. This award is given to a player who exhibits: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity. Sam was also a finalist for this award, in 2010.

Way to play and help your community, Emmanuel! You're making the 'Horns proud!
