Vaughn Is Jack Trice Endowed Scholarship Recipient

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State senior linebacker Gerry Vaughn has been named this year's recipient of the Jack Trice Endowed Scholarship.

The scholarship has been awarded annually to a Black student-athlete on the football team who is entering his senior year. The recipient, selected by head football coach Matt Campbell, is a student-athlete who portrays courage, character, selflessness, leadership, dedication to the community, and academic/athletic achievement, all traits of Trice.

Vaughn is the second recipient of the scholarship, following the footsteps of Anthony Johnson Jr., who had the scholarship his first senior season and then again last year during his COVID season. He graduated in the fall of 2022 with a degree in public relations and is pursuing his master's degree in entrepreneurship.

"It's truly an honor to be blessed with the Jack Trice Endowed Scholarship," Vaughn said. "This scholarship means the world to me and I am looking forward to representing it well on and off the field."

Vaughn, an Atlanta, Georgia, native, joined the Cyclones in 2018 and has worked his way up the depth chart, starting all 12 games a season ago. He is returning for his sixth season at ISU and has 143 career tackles, including 10.0 for a loss, and 3.0 sacks.

Vaughn is also the Nick Basset Perseverance Award recipient for the Cyclones and a four-time Academic All-Big 12 selection.

Courage. Character. Selflessness. Leadership. Dedication to community, academics and athletics.
