Will Anderson is arguably the most dominant defensive player in college football.
He finished last season as a Heisman Trophy finalist and national organizations see him as a semifinalist for individual honors during his junior campaign. Anderson is a semifinalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award via Maxwell Football Club.
As the reigning Bronko Nagurski Award winner, the native Georgian is also one of 12 semifinalists for the Rotary Lombardi Award. The news came Tuesday from the Rotary Club of Houston. The Lombardi Award, named after NFL Hall of Famer Vince Lombardi, is presented annually to the college football offensive lineman or defensive lineman who shows outstanding performance and ability, and best exemplifies the character and discipline of Lombardi.
