Texas defensive lineman Hero Kanu is among the semifinalists for the William V. Campbell Trophy, the National Football Foundation announced Sept. 23.
The award honors a scholarship athlete based on academic achievement, performance on the field and leadership. Burnt Orange Nation, the source of the report, provided no further information about why Kanu was selected.
Texas has placed a player among the award’s finalists during the last two seasons. Linebacker Trey Moore was a finalist in 2025, after center Jake Majors reached that stage in 2024.
The Longhorns have produced two Campbell Trophy winners. Center Dallas Griffin won in 2007, and defensive end Sam Acho received the honor in 2010.
