Richard Bowman, NDSU football cornerback, was nominated for the Allstate Insurance Company and American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team. The two 11-member teams will be announced during the 2009 college football season.
Bowman was nominated for this prestigious award because of his embodiment of a real understanding of teamwork and giving back through selfless contributions and commendable acts of kindness.
The contributions to his nomination include, visiting several young cancer patients at MeritCare in Fargo, volunteering at NDSU and North Shore High School youth football camps, organizing playground activities for young children through Fargo Parks and Recreation and helping counter a natural disaster by sandbagging for the Fargo-Moorhead community during the 2009 flood season.
A second-year sponsor of the award, Allstate has assembled a high-profile voting panel that has helped select the nominees. From the list of 106 nominees, two 11-player teams will be chosen during the 2009 college football season.
