Lansdowne, PA – December 6, 2024
The William Penn School District proudly announces that Jacquez Mabin, Penn Wood HS ‘20, is a semifinalist for the 2024 Gagliardi Trophy, presented by Sterns Bank. This honor serves as the Division III equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. Since 1993, it has been given annually to the most outstanding NCAA Division III football player, recognizing excellence in athletics, academics, and community service. The award is named after John Gagliardi, Saint John’s legendary Hall of Fame head football coach, who passed away at age 91 in 2018.
Currently, in his senior year at Delaware Valley University, Jaquez has excelled academically and athletically. His dedication on the football field and in the classroom has brought great pride to our community, and to be nominated for this award is truly a testament to Jacquez’s hard work and character.
We encourage everyone to support Jacquez by casting their vote by December 13, 2024, to help him advance to the finals. Voting is quick and easy, and your support means the world to one of our own.
