Cobb Announced as Nominee for the 2010 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team

On Tuesday, it was announced that University of Kentucky wide receiver/quarterback/punt returner/ do-it-all-monster Randall Cobb is one of the 112 student-athletes nominated for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®. It is the most ever in the 19-year history of the award. It is often recognized as the, “most prestigious off-the-field honor in college football.”

Cobb is being recognized for his many service accomplishiments which include:

Following a visit with 13 year-old leukemia patient Bradley Wilson, Cobb shaved his head for the his first bowl game as a tribute to the teen.
Mentors local youth, speaking at area schools and visiting patients at regional hospitals.
Served as guest speaker at a Chi Omega Dinner that benefitted the Make-A-Wish Foundation to support terminally ill children.

It’s good to see that Randall Cobb is a beast, both on and off the field. The Legend of Cobb continues to grow. Congrats to Randall on the nomination and thanks to our boys over at Hugging Harold Reynolds for the tip. Visit their blog, now!
