AUSTIN, Texas – No. 14/14/13 Texas Football senior linebacker Trey Moore was honored as a finalist for the 2025 William v. Campbell Trophy at the 67th National Football Foundation (NFF) Annual Awards Dinner Tuesday night in Las Vegas.
The Campbell Trophy is a scholar-athlete award that annually recognizes an individual as the absolute best in the nation for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership.
One of 16 finalists, Moore is also a member of the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class, presented by Fidelity Investments and will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship. The 16 finalists were selected from a number of 180 semifinalists nationwide from among all NCAA divisions and the NAIA.
Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers was the 2025 recipient of the Campbell Trophy. Other award finalists included DePauw's Bobby Ballentine, Washington's Jonah Coleman, Fordham's James Conway, Kansas' Jalon Daniels, Harding's Ty Dugger, Iowa's Aaron Graves, Navy's Blake Horvath, Austin Peay's Chandler Kirton, Buffalo's Red Murdock, Ohio's Parker Navarro, Baylor's Sawyer Robertson, Minnesota State Moorehead's Jack Strand, Army's Andon Thomas and Grand View's Jackson Waring.
Moore is the 14th Longhorn to be named an NFF Scholar-Athlete and finalist for the award, and Texas has had two previous winners of the Campbell Trophy in center Dallas Griffin (2007) and defensive end Sam Acho (2010).
"Trey checks all the boxes of a tremendous student and athlete and is an absolute joy to coach," Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said. "He has a huge impact on the field, is an outstanding leader on and off the field and with the example he sets in his commitment to his schoolwork. One of the big mantras in our program is who you are some of the time is who you are all the time and that extends to every facet of our players' lives. Trey is consistently driven to be great in everything he does, and he absolutely epitomizes that mantra every day. We're so fortunate to have him in our program, and he is an outstanding representative of The University of Texas."
Moore will graduate from Texas in December 2025 with a Physical Culture and Sports degree and holds a 3.64 cumulative GPA. The San Antonio native was named the team's Spring 2025 Academic MVP in addition to earning 2024 SEC Academic Honor Roll and 2024 CSC Academic All-District Team recognition.
Moore is a second-year linebacker who transferred to Texas from UTSA in spring 2024. He has played 57 career games between Texas and UTSA, including 28 career games at UT. In 12 games this season, Moore produced 35 tackles (22 solo), 5.0 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, three pass break-ups, six pressures, and one fumble recovery.
Excelling in the community, Moore has volunteered with the San Antonio Food Bank and Hungry Souls Austin by helping package food for the hungry. He has spent time visiting and providing encouragement to patients at the Dell Children's Hospital in Austin. Another community service project he is involved with is through the Down Syndrome Association of Austin, helping children with down syndrome through activities. He has also volunteered with the Hope Food Pantry by packaging and providing food to those in the Austin area with food insecurity.
Up next, the Longhorns will travel to Orlando, Fla., to take on No. 18/17/18 Michigan in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl at 2 p.m. CT Wednesday, Dec. 31, at Camping World Stadium. The game will broadcast on ABC.
