BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell's Hajj-Malik Williams is one of 136 nominees nationally for the 2023 Allstate American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good Works Team.

Established in 1992, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team is one of the most coveted community service awards in college football. From the 136 nominees, the final roster of 23 award recipients will bring together 11 players from the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision; 11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, Divisions II, III and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA); and one honorary head coach. To be considered for a spot on the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, each player must be actively involved with a charitable organization or service group while maintaining strong academic standing.

Among the team and department-wide leaders in community services hours logged and events attended in 2022-23, Williams is heavily involved in the greater community, volunteering for events such as the Special Olympics, Polar Plunge, Night to Shine, as well as Read Across America at Buies Creek Elementary.

The Atlanta native also helped donate and promote Campbell Football's inaugural Food and Toy Drive, put on in conjunction with Harnett County Veteran Services, served at the Buies Creek Food Pantry, and is an active participant with the Lillington Boys and Girls Club.

Williams is also working to create a Big Brothers Program with Campbell Football and the Dunn Boys and Girls Club/P.A.L.

On the field, Williams passed for a school record 2,221 yards last season as the only QB in the Big South Conference to rank in the league's top-three in passing and top-15 in rushing.

The former Freshman All-American was a two-time Big South Offensive Player of the Week, combining for 294 yards with a touchdown while completing 22-of-33 passes in a win over NC Central, and passing for three touchdowns and 249 yards on 26-of-35 passing (career-best 74.3 completion percentage) in the first half of a win over Robert Morris.

The redshirt senior also passed for a school record 426 yards and two touchdowns last season, adding two more rushing TDs, at North Carolina A&T, earning an honorable mention FCS player of the week nod.

The final 22-member team and honorary coach are selected by a voting panel of former Allstate AFCA Good Works Team members, current and former head coaches and journalists. They look for exceptional leadership on and off the football field.

In addition to Tebow and Hawkes, the 2023 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team selection panel members are: Zaid Abdul-Aleem (Duke, 1994 team); Matt Stinchcomb (Georgia, 1997, 1998); Brian Brenberg (St. Thomas, 2001); Mike Proman (Amherst, 2002); Wes Counts (Middle Tennessee State, 1999); media members Kirk Herbstreit (ESPN); Blair Kerkhoff (Kansas City Star); and Paul Myerberg (USA Today); 2023 AFCA President and Ouachita Baptist University Head Coach Todd Knight; and 2014 AFCA President and former head coach at Ithaca College, Mike Welch.
