 DURHAM – Duke redshirt junior defensive end DeWayne Carter has been named to the 2022 watch list for the Wuerffel Trophy, awarded to College Football's Community Service leader.
Â
The 2022 list includes 115 players from college football's Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
Â
Carter joins a long list of former Blue Devils nominated for this prestigious award over the last 15 years – Jake Bobo, Re'quan Boyette, Gabe Brandner, Kelby Brown, Rakavius Chambers, DeVon Edwards, Dave Harding, Kevin Jones, Johnathan Lloyd, Bryan Morgan, Koby Quansah, Sean Renfree, and Laken Tomlinson.
Â
In the community, Carter has volunteered his time working with Habitat for Humanity building houses, participated in Duke's Reading with the Blue Devils program and is a consistent tutor at KIPP Durham College Preparatory School as well as Durham Public School's IGNITE. In addition, he has stepped up to be a team accountability leader and serves as a First Year ACTION Mentor, guiding freshman student-athletes through the adjustment of college life. A member of Duke's United Black Athletes organization, Carter is responsible for the group's social media page, creating awareness about important dates, events and opportunities for the program.Â
Â
The 6-3, 298-pound Pickerington, Ohio, native, has been an instrumental piece to the Blue Devils' defense during his tenure. In 26 career games, he has compiled 50 tackles and 10.5 tackles for loss. Carter has also recorded 5.5 sacks and three pass breakups, while adding six quarterback pressures and four forced fumbles.Â
Â
Named after Danny Wuerffel, the 1996 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from the University of Florida, the Wuerffel Trophy is presented each February in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The trophy honors college football players who serve others, celebrate their positive impact on society and inspire greater service in the world. The winner of the 2022 Wuerffel Trophy will be announced on February 24, 2023.
