Two Buckeyes Land on 2025 Lott IMPACT Trophy Watchlist

Two Buckeyes Land on 2025 Lott IMPACT Trophy Watchlist
Award watchlists, the subject of much off-season anticipation, will be made public this summer. Over the course of two weeks between the end of July and the start of August, most of them will emerge. The Lott IMPACT Trophy, however, removes its watchlist ahead of schedule.

The only significant college football honour that takes character into account is the Lott IMPACT Trophy. The Lott Trophy, named for former NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott, is awarded to the Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year each year. It is in honour of the player who has influenced his team the most, both on and off the pitch. Integrity, maturity, performance, academics, community, and tenacity are all qualities that make up IMPACT.

Last year, three Ohio State players landed on the prestigious watchlist. After two were drafted, one remains, and one other was added. If either Buckeye can take home the award, they would be Ohio State’s second winner, joining James Laurinaitis (2008).
