🔼 One Hale Of A Cowboy. Marching onto the semifinals!

Not only is redshirt senior Alex Hale a weapon for the Orange and Black on the field, he’s a tremendous ambassador off of it as well.

Hale was named amongst the semifinalists being considered for the 2023 William V. Campbell Trophy, which is known as college football's premier scholar-athlete award and recognizes an individual as the best football scholar-athlete in the nation for combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership.

A native of Point Frederick, New South Wales, Australia, Hale graduated from Oklahoma State in December of 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Exercise Science/Pre-Professional, and is now in graduate school studying Health & Human Performance/Applied Exercise Science.

On the field, he lettered in 2020, 2021 and 2022 and is on his way to a fourth in 2023. He was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award in 2020 and was the FBS leader with 2.17 made field goals per game before missing the final five games of that season. In his career, he has made 22 of 27 field goal attempts and hit a career-long 53-yard attempt in this year's game at Iowa State. He is 6-for-7 on fields goals this season.

The NFF will announce 12-14 finalists for the Campbell Trophy on October 25, and each of them will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the 2023 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class Presented by Fidelity Investments.
