EYLAU, Texas — Skylah Block was selected as a 2022 Heisman Trophy Trust School Winner.

Block is one of more than 5,700 to be selected as a ‘School Winner’ among hundreds of thousands of applicants in the 2023 class. “I just want to go to college and begin my career as a Pharmacy Technician,” Block said. “I would love to later become a pharmacist and work in a hospital.”
The Heisman High School Scholarship was created in 1994 through a partnership between Wendy’s and The Heisman Trophy Trust. It extends the Heisman prestige to the nation’s most esteemed high school seniors by celebrating and rewarding outstanding scholar-athletes “who understand that the most important victories happen not only on the field but also in their schools and communities.”
