Lott Trophy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lott Trophy is presented annually to college football's defensive I.M.P.A.C.T. player. I.M.P.A.C.T. is an acronym for: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community, and Tenacity. The award equally recognizes the personal character of the winning player as well as their athletic excellence. The award selection is voted on by members of the national media, previous finalists, the board of directors of the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation, and a group of former college football head coaches. The award is named in honor of USC's Hall of Fame defensive back, Ronnie Lott.
