University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh quarterback Brett Kasper was named the 2017 Gagliardi Trophy winner at a ceremony at the Salem Civic Center Wednesday night.
Kasper is the first student-athlete from UWO to win the award, which has been given annually since 1993. On top of his football success Kasper volunteered with “Be the Match.” His bone marrow matched a girl in need of a transplant, and he underwent the life-saving procedure.
Wartburg quarterback Matt Sacia was the only junior of the four finalist that were present at Wednesday night’s award show in Salem, Virginia.
