2024 Preseason Watchlist

The Lombardi Award™ Committee proudly releases the 2024 Preseason Watchlist, featuring 90 of the nation's top linemen and linebackers. Based on previous performances and potential for the coming season, this list consists of a select group of talented athletes representing the very best from all FBS conferences and independents.


The watchlist showcases a balanced distribution across eligible positions: 18 defensive tackles, 17 defensive ends, 19 linebackers on defense, 18 offensive tackles, 10 offensive guards, 6 offensive centers, and 2 tight ends on offense. This diverse group hails from the nation's top conferences: the SEC with 19 players, Big Ten with 18 players, and Big 12 with 13, and has strong representation from the ACC, American Athletic, Conference USA, Sun Belt, Pac-12, Mountain West, MAC, and independent teams.


The Lombardi Award™ was established in 1970 in memory of legendary coach Vince Lombardi. It is presented to outstanding linemen who best epitomize their values of leadership, courage, performance, and discipline on and off the field. Furthermore, the watchlist includes players who consistently show the values of strength, agility, and football acumen in their respective positions.
As the 2024 season gets underway, not only will this group of student-athletes be on watch, but this list is also dynamic. One or more breakout performers may emerge during the year. And that player or players can be added to the watch list at mid-season.

 

The Lombardi Award™ represents much more than the distinction involved. It memorializes the perspiration, dedication, and perseverance of these exceptional athletes. As they compete on the gridiron, they inspire future generations of football players and continue the legacy of a coaching icon.
