Toudle Named to Wuerffel Trophy Watch List

ATLANTA, GA. -- Wolfpack tight end Christopher Toudle has named to the watch list for the 2022 Wuerffel Trophy, which honors achievement and community service.

Toudle, a fourth-year tight end out of Wilmington, is a converted wide receiver who came on strong at the end of the '21 season. He won the team's Alpha Rising Award for Exceptional Improvement after hauling in 19 receptions and four touchdowns last season.

Off the field, Toudle has found a variety of ways to make a difference in the community. He worked as a volunteer at Partnership Elementary School, helping to mentor several students. One of the teachers commented that Toudle's contribution was a lasting and meaningful one to those students.

He also organized a camp for kids, bringing in college athletes from across North Carolina and Virginia to not only teach football, but also to hold a social event for the surrounding community. He helped organize free food and games and even raised money for the Alzheimer's Foundation of America at the event.

Named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback from the University of Florida, Danny Wuerffel, the Wuerffel Trophy is presented in February annually in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The trophy exists to honor college football players who serve others, celebrate their positive impact on society, and inspire greater service in the world.

The formal announcement of the 2022 recipient is scheduled to be made on December 8, and the presentation of the 2022 Wuerffel Trophy will occur on February 24, 2023.
