Lanning Makes Cut for Lombardi Award

[jc4cy]

Iowa State just released that Lanning made the Final Seven for the Lombardi award. Looks like only 4 get chosen to attend the ceremony in Houston on January 27th.

Other finalists:
Saquon Barkley (RB - Penn St)
Minkah Fitzpatrick (DB - Alabama)
Shaquem Griffin (LB - UCF)
Lamar Jackson (QB - Louisville)
Bryce Love (RB - Stanford)
Baker Mayfield (QB - Oklahoma)

"The Lombardi Award is presented to a college football player based on performance, as well as leadership, character, and resiliency."

That should knock BM out of the running (but it probably won't).

Lanning pretty much fits the award qualifications to a "T". So, he won't be getting it.

The four finalists will be Lanning, Barkley, Griffin, and Mayfield or someone like that. We'll get our hopes up and all jazzed. Then Barkley will beat him again...

So Barkley, Love, Mayfield and who else get invited?

I think the Big 12 just picked his name up off the list.

Leadership:

Character:

Resiliency:

I suppose I can't argue with "performance"

Danny Wuerffel. Just to **** with ISU fans.

I never knew there was video of him trying to run

Me neither. It's ******* hilarious. Great recognition and reaction by that cop. Campbell should see if he has any eligibility.

I would take give my left nut to see Joel and BM in cage match.

 

[GoldenCardinal]

There are a lot of awards that include things like character, leadership, and resiliency. If they weigh those things the same as "performance," I feel like Joel and Shaquem Griffin should definitely both be in the final 4 and one of them should win it. Instead it will probably come down to who is the more recognizable name. I'm happy that Joel is a finalist though.

These awards are all Heisman / NC consolation awards and this one in particular will be a consolation award for Griffin not getting into the CFP. No way Griffin doesn't win this.

I would buy that cop a meal for knocking down that little, little, turd.

Isn't that the LB from UCF missing his hand? How can he not win it?

 

[CyCloned]

Barkley is pretty high on himself as I recall. Not as much as Mayfield, but still not a poster child either. I would like to see the kid from UCF win it if Joel doesn't. He was pretty impressive in their bowl game.

Just posted to CycloneFB Twitter. Does this mean Lanning is one of the Final Four???
