California's Jordan King is a member of the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, The Wuerffel Foundation announced today. The watch list consists of a record 113 nominees representing players from college football's Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).

Last season, King finished the season with 22 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns. He played in 11 of Cal's 13 games while starting two. King tied a season-high with four catches for a career-high 64 receiving yards against Virginia Tech, caught three passes for 38 yards and a touchdown versus Duke and caught his first collegiate touchdown against Minnesota.

In addition to his work on the field, King has volunteered countless hours to the community with a passion for helping young people. Most recently, King coached at the annual Golden Buddies Football Clinic that pairs kids with and without disabilities in a series of fun football activities. In addition to his work with Golden Buddies, he helps lead the Cal Football Reading Challenge. King has visited schools on multiple occasions to help promote reading over the summer to elementary and junior high-aged children.

As college football's premier award for community service, the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy recognizes student-athletes who use their platforms to serve others and make a positive impact in their communities. Named after Danny Wuerffel, the 1996 Heisman Trophy winner and former University of Florida quarterback, the award reflects his lifelong commitment to leadership, service and unity.

"It's an honor to recognize these student-athletes for the difference they are making in the lives of others," Wuerffel said. "Their commitment to service demonstrates the powerful impact college athletes can have both on and off the field."

For the third consecutive year, the Wuerffel Foundation is partnering with Allstate and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) to unite college football's top community service honors with the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®. In September, 11 student-athletes from the Watch List will be named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and become semifinalists for the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy.

The 2026 recipient and finalists will be invited to join Wuerffel in New York City for Heisman Trophy events, including the Wuerffel Foundation's Picklebowl: Heisman Edition. The Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Presentation Gala will follow in February 2027 at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
