Army LB Andon Thomas Campbell Trophy finalist

Andon Thomas is one step closer to earning one of the college football’s most prestigious awards.

Thomas, Army’s senior linebacker, was selected as one of 16 finalists for the Campbell Trophy, the “academic Heisman.”

The Black Knights’ co-captain maintains a 3.98 grade-point average as a chemical engineering major at West Point. Thomas leads Army with 59 tackles through seven games. He’s made 21 straight starts for the Black Knights.

As a Campbell Trophy finalist, Thomas receives a $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the 2025 National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete class.
