There are two images posted here by Cajuns Football. Make sure you hit the arrow halfway up the image to scroll over to the second image. It's a semitransparent arrow pointing west or east on one side or both of the halfway point in image.

My guess is this confirms #1. Probably already posted (QB1) but I got sidetracked by some fool earlier.

Louisiana redshirt senior Ben Wooldridge was named to the Wuerffel Trophy Preseason Watch List, the Wuerffel Foundation announced Thursday.

The award, named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel, is presented annually to the top football student-athlete who are inspired to serve others and make positive impacts on society.

Last season, the Pleasanton, California, native threw for 1661 yards and 15 touchdowns and rushed for 188 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Wooldridge threw for a season-high 370 yards at Southern Miss and tossed a career-high five touchdowns in the win over Arkansas State.

Wooldridge has been a servant in the community, assisting the Gifting Grace Project, which helps homeless kids in Acadiana. Additionally, he spent time at the local special education center and participated in a field day with the children and helped coach local kids at the team's annual free kids camp.

Semifinalists for the award will be announced on November 2, and finalists will be announced on November 28th. The formal announcement of the 2023 recipient is scheduled to be made during The Home Depot College Football Awards on ESPN, and the presentation of the 2023 Wuerffel Trophy will take place on February 17, 2024, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.

Damn good company. I know Deuce went to Metarie, did he make the Saints? I know he was very noticed by Nola.

Anyone that has spent time at the local special education center is a good dude.

Is it my imagination or did our reds change last year when you look at Ben's jersey? I always felt they are now a darker shade of red compared to these 2 eras.

What does his visit to the special education center or being a good dude have to do with starting?
