Flewellyn and Martin Named to Rotary Lombardi Watch List
July 15, 2013 | Football
The Rotary Lombardi Award Committee has released the preliminary watch list for the 2013 Rotary Lombardi Award and Dominic Flewellyn and Gabe Martin were part of that list.
Â
Eligibility for the Rotary Lombardi Award is limited to down linemen, end-to-end, either on offense or defense, who set up no farther than 10 yards to the left or right of the ball, or linebackers who set up no farther than five yards deep from the line of scrimmage. The candidates earned a place on the preliminary watch list by earning All-American honors, being named to their respective all-conference teams or receiving 2013 pre-season honors. The Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List will be updated prior to the start of the 2013 season in order to identify other players who have received significant pre-season honors.
Martin, a first-team All-MAC performer, led the Falcons with 70 tackles during the 2012 season. The first-year starter added 4.5 sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss, helping the Falcons' defense rank near the top-10 in every national category. Martin would also be named Academic All-MAC last season.
Flewellyn earned third-team All-MAC honors in 2012, helping the Falcons average 153.4 yards per game on the ground, while allowing just 15 sacks in 13 contests. Flewellyn, a team captain last season, has started 33 consecutive games for the Orange and Brown.
Â
While the Watch List highlights those players who have already received national recognition, any Division 1 player who meets the requirements is eligible for consideration from the Rotary Lombardi Selection Committee. This committee is comprised of more than 500 members, including all past winners and finalists, all Division 1 head coaches and a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.
Â
The Rotary Lombardi Watch List, intended as a reference tool for the Selection Committee, will be periodically updated and revised through the conclusion of the voting to determine the 12 Semifinalists for 2013.
Â
The 44th Rotary Lombardi Award will be held on December 11, 2013 at the Wortham Center in Houston, Texas. For more information on the schedule of events, please visit www.rotarylombardiaward.org.
