Known as "College Football's Premier Award for Community Service", the Wuerffel Trophy is presented each February in Fort Walton Beach. Named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Danny Wuerffel, the Wuerffel Trophy is awarded to the FBS player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.
Skrobot, who has played in all 24 games over the past two seasons for the Falcons as a long snapper, is a MAC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete and a Google Cloud Academic All-District performer. He has been named Academic All-MAC and was a Wuerffel Trophy Award nominee a year ago. Earlier this year, he was nominated for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.

Among his many charitable activities, Skrobot spearheaded Christmas with the Falcons, an initiative designed to serve underprivileged children in the Bowling Green community. He has also volunteered with Wood County Hospital and Rally Cap Sports (serving children with mental disabilities). Skrobot also holds his pilot's license and is a member of the Dean's List.
