The Red Worrell Award is presented to an offensive Penn State Nittany Lions football player for "exemplary conduct, loyalty, interest, attitude, and improvement" during spring practice each year. First awarded in 1958, the award honors former Nittany Lion fullback Robert T. Worrell, who died from accidental electrocution in 1957.cite book | last = Thalman | first = Budd | title = Penn State Football Yearbook 1993 | publisher = Penn State University Sport Information Office | date = 1993 | pages = 223.]
