Â
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Mississippi State's Kody Schexnayder of football and Athena Yang of women's golf were named 2019-20 Brad Davis Community Service Award Winners, as announced by the Southeastern Conference on Thursday.
Â
Schexnayder and Yang will each receive a $5,000 post-graduate scholarship provided by the SEC and are nominees for the Male and Female Brad Davis Community Service Leaders of the Year, which grants a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship.
Â
The SEC Community Service Post-Graduate Scholarship is named for former Associate Commissioner Brad Davis. Davis succumbed to cancer on March 2, 2006. He had been a member of the SEC staff since 1988, first serving as an assistant commissioner until 1994 when he was promoted to associate commissioner.
Â
Schexnayder has been volunteering with numerous local organizations during his four-year career, including the Pink Dawg Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness, Walk to School Day, Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign, Emerson Elementary School Reading Day, Miracle League, Boys and Girls Club, Special Olympics, Palmer Home for Children and visits to the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children.
Â
A New Orleans native, Schexnayder also served on the Community Outreach Sub-Committee of MSU's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the SEC Leadership Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Â
Logging nearly 50 hours of community service during her time at Mississippi State, Yang has actively been involved in annual projects such as the T.K. Martin Fun Run, United We Feed Food Drive and MLK Service Day. This year, she served at the West Point Clay County Animal Shelter.
