LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas' Calvin Clements was one of 162 nominees for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, Allstate and the American Football Coaches Association announced on Monday.
The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team recognizes college football student-athletes who demonstrate exceptional commitment to community service, academics and athletics.

Clements, of Lawrence, Kansas, has started 13 career games at tackle for the Jayhawks, including all 12 in 2025. Clements is among Kansas' most active in the community, as he is a leader in Kansas' summer community service initiative. Cure has participated in several community cleanup events, summer camps, youth engagement activities and more.
The 2026 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team will be announced in September and include 22 student-athletes and one honorary head coach. One student-athlete will also be selected as team captain and receive the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy.
A selection panel composed of former Good Works Team members, college football coaches, journalists and other leaders connected to the award reviews nominations from across the country. Voters evaluate candidates based on the breadth and depth of their community service, demonstrated leadership, academic achievement and the measurable impact they have had on the people and causes they serve. The panel then selects 11 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision players (FBS), 11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), Divisions II, III and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) ranks, and one honorary head coach.
