TCU quarterback Jaden Craig has given the Fort Worth program a first that does not appear on a scoreboard: a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy.

The university announced his selection Wednesday, Oct. 21, saying TCU had never previously placed a finalist for the award, which began in 1990. Craig also becomes the program’s first National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete since 1981 and its fourth overall.

The Campbell Trophy considers academic achievement, football performance and leadership together. The winner is due to be announced at the National Football Foundation’s awards dinner in Las Vegas on Dec. 8.

Craig graduated from Harvard in December 2025 with a degree in economics and is continuing his studies in economics at TCU, the university said.
