PHILADELPHIA - The Burlsworth Trophy released the 67-nominee list for the distinguished award today. Temple offensive lineman Vincent Picozzi was named to the list.
Throughout his career, Picozzi took snaps along all five positions of the offensive line while taking more than 200 snaps at three different positions. To begin Picozzi's graduate season, he was named to the preseason All-AAC first team by Athlon and to the second team by Phil Steele. Throughout the season, Picozzi started at two different positions (LT, RG) along the offensive line and took snaps at one other (LG). Picozzi is one of only five offensive linemen in the FBS to have blocked on 230 or more pass attempts this season and allowed only one or less pressure.
