WINSTON-SALEM – Wake Forest senior safety Ryan Janvion has been named as one of five finalists for the 7th Annual Pop Warner College Football Award. The Pop Warner College Football Award recognizes a graduating senior who has made a difference on the field, in the classroom and in his community, which are attributes Pop Warner emphasizes with its young scholar athletes.
Janvion, a Miami, Fla. native and graduate of Dade Christian High School is looking to become the second-consecutive Demon Deacon to earn the award, as Brandon Chubb took home the honor in 2015.
A finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy and a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-District selection, Janvion is a four-year starter for the Deacons who led the team in tackles in both 2013 and 2014. He has amassed 324 career tackles and is 11th in school history in career tackles. He has also been nominated for the Wuerffel Trophy and Senior CLASS Award
Off the field, Janvion is a four-year member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, and he plays the saxophone for the Athletes-in-Action Worship Team. He serves as a board member for the Santas' Helper initiative; participated in "Brenner Deacs" at Brenner Children's Hospital; and greeted guests at the Wake Baptist Health Fair. Janvion has volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and Project H.O.P.E. (Help Our People Eat). He assisted at a football camp for kids with autism, and he was featured in a public service announcement for the United Way.
The Pop Warner College Football Award is presented in December at the annual Pop Warner Super Bowl at Walt Disney World's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla.
