Hagy Nominated For 2015 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Rising senior running back Luke Hagy has been nominated for the 2015 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, the most esteemed off the field honor in college football. For 24 years, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® has recognized college football players from across the country who exemplifies a superior commitment to community service and volunteerism. Hagy is one of just two Ivy League players nominated, along with Yale's Sebastian Little.

Comprised of 11 players from the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and 11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, Divisions II, III and the NAIA, the final roster of 22 award recipients will be unveiled in September. From the nominees submitted by sports information directors across the nation on behalf of their schools, a special voting panel consisting of former Allstate AFCA Good Works Team members and prominent college football media members will select the 2015 Good Works Team.

A two-time All-Ivy League selection, Hagy is the first player in Cornell history to surpass 1,000 career yards both rushing and receiving. A second-team all-league pick last season, he ranked third in the Ancient Eight in rushing (734 yards and six touchdowns). If he is able to match last season's numbers, Hagy would become the seventh player in school history to surpass 2,000 rushing yards and the 10th to register more than 1,500 receiving yards. He is in striking distance of becoming the fourth player in school history with more than 4,000 all-purpose yards.

The 2015 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® voting panel includes: former Good Works Team members Zaid Abdul-Aleem (Duke, 1994 team), Matt Stinchcomb (Georgia, 1997, 1998 teams), Brian Brenberg (St. Thomas, 2001 team), Mike Proman (Amherst, 2002 team); media members Kirk Herbstreit (ESPN), Bruce Feldman (Fox Sports), Blair Kerkhoff (Kansas City Star); current AFCA President and University of Cincinnati head coach Tommy Tuberville; 1987 AFCA President and former head coach at Brigham Young University LaVell Edwards; and Jim Haskins, Executive Vice President, Allstate Brand Distribution.

Once the final team members are announced in September, fans are encouraged to visit the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team website on ESPN.com, featuring profiles and images of the players, for the opportunity to vote for the 2015 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team Captain.

In order to meet the criteria set forth by Allstate and the AFCA, each player must be actively involved with a charitable organization or service group while maintaining a strong academic standing.
