MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis defensive back Quindell Johnson was named to the Wuerffel Trophy Watchlist on Thursday. The Wuerffel Trophy is college football's premier award for community service. Johnson has also been named to the Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watchlist and the Paycom Jim Thorpe Preseason Watchlist.
A preseason First-Team All-AAC choice by Phil Steele this year, Johnson was named second-team All-AAC for the second-straight season in 2021 after ranking second in the conference in total tackles (104) and solo tackles (66). He also ranked third in the league in tackles per game (8.7) and sixth in pass breakups (11). Johnson also had 4.5 tackles for loss, one sack and one interception on the year.
Named after Danny Wuerffel, the 1996 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from the University of Florida, the Wuerffel Trophy is presented each February in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
