aubiefifty 18,304 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Zakoby McClain named Lott IMPACT Trophy quarterfinalist Last Updated 20 hours ago 5-6 minutes Oct 16, 2021; Fayetteville, AR, USA; Zakoby McClain (9) between Auburn and Arkansas at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics The Tigers’ defensive leader in total tackles is one of twenty NCAA players named to the quarterfinal list for the Lott Impact Trophy. Now in its 18th year, the trophy goes to the student-athlete who portrays the characteristics closest to Ronnie Lott both on and off the field of play. Lott is a former corner and safety who spent 14 seasons in the NFL after attending the University of Southern California where he was named a consensus All-American. His name resides in both the NFL Hall of Fame as well as the College Football Hall of Fame. The IMPACT acronym in the trophy’s name stands for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community, and Tenacity. It wasn’t that long ago when an Auburn player won the award for the first time in over a decade. Former Auburn defensive tackle and No. 7 overall draft pick Derrick Brown was the last Tiger to be recognized for his efforts both on and off the field in 2019. Semi-finalists for the award will be chosen out of the twenty-man group in late November, with four finalists picked in December. The four final players will be invited to the annual Lott IMPACT Trophy award show on Dec. 12, 2021, in Newport Beach, California. NFL and CFB Hall of Famer Charles Woodson will be guest speaking at the event. Sign up for our newsletter Get The Plainsman straight to your inbox.
