LAS CRUCES, N.M. - New Mexico State football senior kicker
Dylan Brown is a nominee for the prestigious National Football Foundation (NFF) William V. Campbell Trophy. The award is given to a collegiate football student-athlete with the best combination of academic success, community service and on-field performance.
Nominated by their schools, which are limited to one nominee each, candidates for the award must be seniors or graduate students in their final year of eligibility, have a grade point average of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first-team player and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship.Â
Brown, who transferred to NM State after spending his freshman year at Phoenix College, has handled the Aggies' field-goal and kickoff responsibilities since stepping foot on campus. He finished his sophomore campaign 13-of-17 on field-goal attempts, connecting on both of his kicks in NM State's win against Utah State in the 2017 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl.
Last season, the native of Chandler, Ariz., was 10-of-15 on field-goal attempts, drilling a career-long 49-yarder at Utah State. He was a perfect 35-of-35 on point-after attempts, giving him 64 consecutive makes dating back to his sophomore year.
Brown, who is majoring in kinesiology, currently ranks first in the Aggie record book in career field-goal percentage (71.9) and third in career extra-point percentage (96.1) as he enters his senior season.
NM State begins the season at Washington State Saturday, Aug. 31, with an 8 p.m. MT kickoff on the Pac-12 Network. Single-game and season tickets for the Aggie football home slate can be purchased at the Pan American Center or by calling 833-AGGIEUP.
