2015 ROTARY LOMBARDI AWARD WATCH LIST ANNOUNCED

Houston, Texas (July 14, 2015) The Rotary Lombardi Award Committee has released the Watch List for the
2015 Rotary Lombardi Award.
Eligibility for the Rotary Lombardi Award is limited to down linemen, end-to-end, either on offense or defense, who
set up no farther than 10 yards to the left or right of the ball, or linebackers who set up no farther than five yards
deep from the line of scrimmage. The candidates earned a place on the preliminary Watch List by earning AllAmerican honors, being named to their respective all-conference teams or receiving 2015 pre-season honors.
The Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List will be updated prior to the start of the 2015 season in order to identify
other players who have received significant pre-season honors.
While the Watch List highlights those players who have already received national recognition, any Division 1 player
who meets the requirements is eligible for consideration from the Rotary Lombardi Selection Committee. This
committee is comprised of more than 500 members, including all past winners and finalists, all Division 1 head
coaches and a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.
The Rotary Lombardi Watch List containing 145 delegates, intended as a reference tool for the Selection
Committee, will be periodically updated and revised through the conclusion of the voting to determine the 12 semifinalists for 2015.
The 2015 Watch List includes Scooby Wright III, the 2014 Rotary Lombardi Award winner. Also listed is Joey
Bosa, 2014 Rotary Lombardi Award Finalist, and Semi- Finalists Shilique Calhoun and Robert Nkemdiche. The
2015 Watch List also includes Toby Weathersby, the winner of the inaugural Greater Houston High School Award
and Kingsley Keke, a 2014 Finalist for the High School Award.
The 46th Rotary Lombardi Award will be held on December 9, 2015 at the Bayou Music Center in Houston, Texas.
Proceeds from the Rotary Lombardi Awards stay in the Houston community and benefit the American Cancer
Society, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centers / Childrens Cancer Hospital, and Texas Childrens
Cancer Center. For more information on the schedule of events, please visit www.rotarylombardiaward.org.
