The award is given to the college football player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic, as well as academic achievement.
Forristall is one of 114 players who were named to the watch list.
Alabama has had one player in Crimson Tide history to win the award: Barrett Jones in 2011.
Alabama had this to say about Forristall’s community service:
“Contributed over 200 hours of community service during his time at the Capstone … attended two separate mission trips with the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) … spent a week in Costa Rica coaching football camps while also helping to educate the community on healthy habitats and community conditions … also traveled to a Nicaraguan Refugee Camp with fellow FCA student-athletes … participated in hospital visits and community service events on the Crimson Tide’s bowl trips.”
In his career at Alabama, Forristall has recorded 18 receptions for 216 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Last season, he had 15 receptions for 167 yards, and 4 touchdowns.
The winner of the award will be announced on Dec. 8 at a National Football Foundation press conference in New York City.
