NORTHBROOK, Ill. — Senior wide receiver Mason Shipp has been selected as a nominee for the 2025 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team for the second-straight year. 

Allstate and the American Football Coaches Association announced a record-breaking 197 nominees for the 2025 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®, the highest in the award's 34-year history. College football student-athletes and head coaches from all levels of the sport are recognized for their commitment to community service and leadership beyond the gridiron. 

Established in 1992, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team recognizes college football athletes for their unwavering commitment to community service and their "good works" off the field. This year's 178 nominees champion causes including mental health awareness, youth mentorship, hunger relief, domestic abuse prevention, and many more. In addition to being actively involved with a charitable organization or service group, each player must also maintain strong academic standing to be considered for a spot on the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.

Off the field, Shipp is deeply involved in both the Yale and New Haven communities. He serves as the Subcommittee Chair for Yale Bulldogs for Change within the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Vice Chair of the Ivy League SAAC, and Co-President of the Black Student-Athlete Coalition (BSAC). Through his work with BSAC, Shipp helped establish a new partnership with the New Haven chapter of the Boys & Girls Club. As part of the initiative, BSAC members have begun volunteering their time at the club, engaging with local youth through recreational sports and mentorship.

The final roster of 23 award recipients announced in September will bring together:

• 11 players from the NCAA FBS
• 11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), Divisions II, III and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
• 1 honorary head coach

A voting panel of former Good Works Team members, head coaches and journalists select the team roster based on outstanding leadership on and off the field.
