David Traxler Named to SEC Community Service Team

OXFORD, Miss. -- Ole Miss senior tight end David Traxler will be featured this week as the SEC Community Service Team Player of the Week on this weekend’s Raycom Sports telecast of the Ole Miss at Florida contest.

A Jackson native, Traxler visits local retirement homes and takes part in “Reading with the Rebels”, a program that helps promote reading to area students. He is currently involved in the SEC’s “Together We Can” food drive for the second straight year.

A two-time SEC Academic Honor Roll recipient, Traxler is an accounting major and a member of Ole Miss’ Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. In 2005, he received the Scholar-Athlete Award from the Ole Miss Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.

After beginning his career as an offensive lineman, Traxler moved to tight end in the spring of 2007. He has appeared in all four of the Rebels’ games this season, including three starts.

Each week during the SEC football season, Raycom Sports will highlight a representative of the 2008 SEC Football Good Works Team. Student-Athletes earn SEC Community Service Team recognition for their community service and campus activities.

The SEC sponsors 16 Community Service Teams during the season, including one for each sport in the SEC, combining the indoor and outdoor track & field and cross country teams into one unit.
