FSU offensive lineman Dillan Gibbons honored as captain of Allstate Good Works Team
The following news release was provided Monday by Florida State’s Sports Information department:
Florida State offensive lineman Dillan Gibbons has been voted captain of the 2022 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, it was announced Monday.
“The only thing more impressive than Dillan’s fierceness on the field is his philanthropy off of it,” Florida State head coach Mike Norvell said. “He is a smart, thoughtful leader, and he has made a massive difference in his time as a Florida State Seminole. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor than Dillan.”
Gibbons, who is a first-team All-ACC performer, winner of this year’s Jim Tatum Award as the ACC’s top senior football scholar-athlete and a finalist for the Wuerffel Trophy, has established a non-profit foundation to raise funds for those in need. His foundation partners with collegiate ambassadors across college football and connects with charitable causes they are passionate about, including those with special medical needs, shopping with children in the community and repairing damage caused by natural disasters.
