The Pac-12 had one player from nearly each school named to the Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List this weekend, as new changes were rolled out for the annual defensive award.
The Lott IMPACT Trophy is given annually to the defensive college football player who causes the most IMPACT, an acronym standing for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.
It is given annually by the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation and was first given out in 2004.
Three Pac-12 players have won it before including Cal’s Daymeion Hughes in 2006 and back-to-back UCLA Bruins in 2013 (Anthony Barr) and in 2014 (Eric Kendricks).
