Sibley East graduate Jordan Berg was one of four finalists for the Gagliardi Trophy which is awarded each year to the most outstanding NCAA Division III football player in the nation.

Berg, quarterback for Augsburg College, was named one of ten finalists for the Gagliardi Trophy earlier this month. Regional finalists were named last week and included senior quarterbacks Berg (West), Jason Boltus (East), Juan Joseph (South), and Greg Micheli (North).

Named after legendary St. John’s University football coach John Gagliardi, the Gagliardi trophy is widely recognized as the premier individual award in Division III football. It honors excellence in athletics, academics and community service.

Berg, in just a three season college career, shattered many Augsburg records in becoming the top passing quarterback in the school’s history. The Auggies co-captain finished with a school best 8,777 passing yards (292 per game) and completed 796 of his 1,350 passes. Berg also set a new Augsburg record with 74 touchdown passes.

Last month, Berg left his mark on the MIAC record book. In a game at St. John’s, he broke the conference’s career passing yardage record. He finished his career with 7,414 passing yards in only 24 league games. Berg also stands second among Division III quarterbacks nationally in completions per game (29.70).

Berg was recently named first team All-MIAC, his second all-conference honor. Last month, he was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District first team.

A physics major with a 3.80 grade-point average, Berg was an Academic All-MIAC honoree last season and will be named to the honor again this year.

It was announced Tuesday that Greg Micheli of Mount Union was named the winner of the Gagliardi award. Micheli, a math and physics major, carries a 3.84 GPA and a .714 completion percentage.

The 16th annual Gagliardi Trophy will be presented to Micheli on Thursday, December 18th in Salem, VA, site of the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl (Division III national championship game).
