Jacobs Blocking Trophy

Last updated

The Jacobs Blocking Trophy is the name of several similar annual college football awards bestowed by a conference upon their best blocker. The awards are named in honor of William P. Jacobs, son of the founder and president of Presbyterian College from 1935 to 1945. The trophies are awarded by his son, Hugh, and great-grandson, William P. Jacobs V (ACC Trophy), based upon voting of the respective leagues' coaches. [1] [2] The award was originally presented to a player from the state of South Carolina from 1928 to 1932. [3] A duplicate award was created and given to a player in the Southern Conference (SoCon) beginning in 1933. [3] The Southeastern Conference (SEC) began the award in 1935. [4] The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) established its own version of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy in its first year of existence in 1953. [2] The Division II South Atlantic Conference also bestows a version of the award. [5] [6]

Each year, the Southeastern Conference (SEC), a college athletic conference whose member institutions are located primarily in the Southern part of the United States, chooses Community Service Teams of players of various sports from among its member universities. The honor goes to players in recognition of their off-the-court/off-the-field volunteering and community service activities. The Community Service Team is meant to highlight an athlete from each SEC school in a variety of sports. The SEC began this concept with a football Community Service Team in 1994, originally called the Good Works team. The recognition has expanded to other sports over the years. Like an all-conference team or an all-American team, the Community Service Team is a hypothetical team - the members won't actually get together and play a game.
