The Iowa Hawkeyes‘ big defensive offseason addition is back on another watch list.
After being named to the Butkus Award watch list last week, Virginia transfer linebacker Nick Jackson was named to the Lombardi Award watch list.
Named in honor of legendary former Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi, the Lombardi Award is one of the nation’s highest collegiate honors.
Iowa has had a pair of Lombardi Award finalists in its history. Adrian Clayborn in 2010 and Tyler Linderbaum in 2021. Six other Hawkeyes have been semifinalists for the Lombardi: Jeff Drost (1986), Mike Devlin (1992), Jared DeVries (1998), Robert Gallery (2003), Brandon Scherff (2014), and Jack Campbell (2022).
