DeKALB, Ill. – Northern Illinois University offensive lineman Abiathar Curry (Janesville, Wis./Parker HS) is NIU's 2025 nominee for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team announced today (July 15) by Allstate and the American Football Coaches Association.
Curry, a junior who has volunteered for 13 different activities with organizations ranging from NIU to the City of DeKalb, to local schools, camps and churches. He has logged community service hours in DeKalb, Sycamore and Rockford, in Boise, Idaho – where the Huskies played in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl – in his hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin and in teammate Evan Malcore's hometown of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.
The first Huskie football student-athlete to volunteer anytime an opportunity presents itself, Curry leads the team in number of community service hours committed. He said that he enjoys taking the time to engage with different people in volunteer efforts and intends to continue that commitment beyond his time at NIU.
A few of the events he has appeared at include the Beautiful Lives Project with developmentally disabled youth and adults, Winter Family Night at Littlejohn Elementary School in DeKalb and the City of DeKalb's Juneteenth Celebration.
Curry is one of a record-breaking 197 nominees across all divisions of NCAA and NAIA football for the 2025 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®, a 23-member team which will be announced in September.
For the second year, Allstate is partnering with the Wuerffel Foundation to align two of college football's most meaningful honors: the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy. Together, they recognize student-athletes who demonstrate excellence in community service, academics and athletics.
