ATLANTA - Fresno State senior wide receiver Jordan Brown has earned a spot on the 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy watch list, announced by the Wuerffel Foundation on Thursday morning. The award recognizes college football players from across the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) who exemplify community service, academic excellence and athletic achievement. The senior Bulldog is one of 116 players up for the award in 2025.
Brown is a dedicated member of the Bulldog football program, but equally as dedicated to his service away from the field. He is a devoted member of his church as a service leader, and spends time as an active participant at FCA events.
The senior Bulldog is one to rally his teammates when it comes to participating in community service events or other outreach activities. He also prioritizes internal efforts as well, working to maintain a community within Fresno State student-athletes.
Brown's outwardly largest generous act would be his involvement with Fresno State's partnership in Team IMPACT. In May of 2023, Fresno State's football program partnered with Team IMPACT to sign Jace Sumpter to the team. Sumpter was a young boy going through treatment for kidney cancer, and has since been declared cancer free but still a part of the team. Brown gathers teammates to spend time with Jace and his family throughout the year. Brown invited the Sumpter family to the Bulldogs' spring showcase, which saw Jace scoring a touchdown on the final drive of the scrimmage.

Last season, Brown earned the Humanitarian Award at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and was named a member of the All-Mountain West Community Service Team.
In the preseason of 2025, Brown has earned recognitions by the Allstate Good Works Team in addition to his Wuerffel Trophy watch list. Both recognitions highlight his efforts on and off the field of play.
