Lott Trophy
The Lott Trophy was created in 2004 to honor college football's Defensive Impact Player of the Year.
The award is unique because it represents the first college football trophy to give equal weight to personal character as well as athletic performance. Additionally, it is the first national college football award to be based on the West Coast.
The Lott Trophy was named in honor of Ronnie Lott, a two-time All-American for USC and College Football Hall of Fame Inductee. Ronnie Lott went on to win four Super Bowl rings with the San Francisco 49ers, ten trips to the Pro Bowl and a spot the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was a leader who had an impact both on the field as well as off.
