Texas defensive lineman Hero Kanu is a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, the National Football Foundation announced Sept. 23.
The honor goes to a scholarship athlete evaluated on academic achievement, performance on the field and leadership. No further information about Kanu’s selection was provided.
Kanu’s selection continues Texas’ recent presence among the award’s finalists. 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 in 2007 and defensive end Sam Acho in 2010.
