Oregon State football player Taylor Kavanaugh was named to the 12-member 2009 American Foot-ball Coaches Association Good Works Team.

The three-year letterman has been actively involved in community service and is a standout in the classroom where he has been selected to the Pacific-10 Conference all-academic team three times.

Kavanaugh has already graduated with a degree in construction engineering management. He is OSU's punt returner, holder and a reserve receiver.

Part of his off-the-field activities include being involved in the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the Read Across America program, a Corvallis Parks and Recreation basketball coach and academic tutor.

He participated in the Associated Schools of Construction annual competition in Nevada last winter and during spring break he traveled to Guatemala to build a house for a needy family.
