Jackson & Lebby Named Nominees For 2025 AFCA Allstate Wuerffel Good Works Team

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State football head coach Jeff Lebby and offensive lineman Jacoby Jackson were named as nominees for the 2025 Allstate and AFCA Wuerffel Good Works Team.

On Tuesday, the organization announced that the 2025 list consisted of a record-breaking 197 nominees, the highest total in the award's 34-year history. College football student-athletes and head coaches from all levels of the sport are recognized for their commitment to community service and leadership beyond the gridiron.

For the second year, Allstate is partnering with the Wuerffel Foundation to align two of college football's most meaningful honors: the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy. Together, they recognize student-athletes who demonstrate excellence in community service, academics and athletics.

Jackson, a native of Arlington, Texas, has been one of the most active members of the community since his arrival on campus. In the past year, he has spent countless hours serving others at various events he was involved with and even created. Just a few of the ways he has given back to his community include participating in the community reading program, volunteering at numerous events at the Goldton at Adelaide assisted living community, volunteering at multiple D.A.W.G program events with the football team and even he created the Jacoby Jackson Sickle Cell Event in memory of his sister to help raise awareness about sickle cell disease.

Coach Lebby has made giving back a key focus during his tenure at State. One of the first things he did was create the D.A.W.G. (Developing A Winning Gameplan) program, which helps student-athletes get involved within the community. He has also been involved in Jackson's Sickle Cell Awareness Program, the Access Program on the Mississippi State campus, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, among others.

The final roster will consist of 22 total players, 11 from the FBS level, along with 11 more from the FCS, Division II, Division III, and NAIA levels, and one honorary head coach.

A voting panel of former Good Works Team members, head coaches and journalists select the team roster based on outstanding leadership on and off the field.
