Junior offensive guard Dan Feeney was named to the 2015 Rotary Lombardi Award watch list Tuesday, just four days after being named to the Outland Trophy watch list last week.
To be eligible for the Lombardi Award, a player must be on either the offensive or defensive line or line up closely to the offensive line. The candidates earned their places on the watch list by achieving All-America honors, being named to their respective all-conference team or earning 2015 preseason honors. College football expert Phil Steele named Feeney as part of his All-Big Ten first team and All-American fourth team.
Feeney has started all 24 games in his IU career and has allowed just one sack in that time. He led the team with 80 knockdowns last season on an offense that broke individual and team rushing records.
The award is selected by a committee of more than 500 members consisting of all past winners and finalists, every Division I head coach and a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.
The winner of the award will be named Dec. 9 in ?Houston.
