Notre Dame seniors Matthew Durkin and Erica Schwegman were named school winners for the nationally-recognized Wendy’s® High School Heisman Award. Schwegman and Durkin were selected based on their outstanding academic and athletic achievements, and leadership within their communities. They now move on to the next stage of the program for the chance to be named one of two state finalists, and for the continued consideration of the National Winner award.
For more than 20 years, the Wendy’s High School Heisman Award has recognized the achievements of exceptionally well-rounded students. Like the collegiate Heisman Memorial Trophy, known as the highest award in college football, the Wendy’s High School Heisman Program honors the all-star performances of high school seniors in the classroom, on the field and in the community.
