Record-setting Central College quarterback Blaine Hawkins is among 15 semifinalists named for the Gagliardi Trophy, an award presented by Jostens and the J-Club of Saint John’s University (Minn.) to the most outstanding NCAA Division III football player.

Given annually since 1993, the Gagliardi Trophy recognizes athletics, academics and community service and is named for the late John Gagliardi, the former Saint John’s coach who retired with 489 career victories.

The Gagliardi Trophy finalists will be announced Thursday, Dec. 9, on a show streamed via D3football.com. The winner will be revealed on D3football.com the following week, prior to the Division III national championship game, the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, Friday, Dec. 17.
