CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Illinois senior guard Nick Allegretti was named one of 20 semifinalists for the prestigious Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Award, the award's selection committee announced Thursday. The award is the first college football honor to focus primarily on a player's leadership, both on and off the field.

Allegretti has been voted a captain by his teammates for two straight seasons and leads the team with 34 consecutive starts. A 2017 honorable mention All-Big Ten performer, he is also the team leader when it comes to community service initiatives.
