Longhorns Daily News: Texas S Michael Taaffe among 22 players on this year’s AFCA Good Works Team

Texas Longhorns safety Michael Taaffe was among the nearly two dozen players selected for the 2025 AFCA Good Works Team. The annual accolade celebrates the above and beyond acts of community service by 22 college football players and one head coach. As On3 also notes, Taaffe’s selection also qualifies the redshirt senior and defensive standout as a semifinalist for the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy, which is awarded each year by the Wuerffel Foundation to the FBS player who best combines exemplary service with leadership and performance across life.
