Norris Named to 2025 Hermann Trophy Midseason Watchlist
October 07, 2025 | Soccer
Norris has an SEC-leading eight clean sheets on the season as UT holds a .769 shutout percentage, which marks the second-best in the NCAA.
Additionally, Norris leads the conference in shutouts per game, save percentage (.857) and (0.44) and goals-against average.
The Johnson City, Tennessee, native was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week during week one of the season and also has allowed just five goals on the year.
The Hermann Trophy is presented annually by the Missouri Athletic Club and is the nation's highest individual honor recognizing the National Player of the Year as determined by voting of Division I head coaches who are members of United Soccer Coaches. It is named in honor of the late Robert Hermann, the legendary St. Louis, Mo., businessman and soccer executive who founded the National Professional Soccer League, the first pro soccer league in the United States which became the North American Soccer League. He was inducted in the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame in 2012.
The 2025 midseason watch list was compiled by members of the Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List Committee from a list of returning 2024 All-Americans and First Team All-Region players. A total of 15 players will be named 2025 Hermann Trophy semifinalists on December 2 at the conclusion of NCAA Division I All-American voting. From that list, head coaches will cast votes, and three players will be named finalists. The 2025 recipient will be announced January 9, 2026, in a ceremony at the historic Missouri Athletic Club in downtown St. Louis, Mo.
