Oklahoma Sooner Football

Alexander on Lombardi Award Watch List: Oklahoma linebacker Rufus Alexander, a consensus All-Big 12 selection last season, is on the initial watch list for the 37th Rotary Lombardi Award. A Sooner has been a finalist for the award three times in the last five years and OU defensive tackle Tommie Harris, now with the Chicago Bears, won the honor in 2003. Tony Casillas, another Oklahoma standout, was the 1985 winner. The 37h Rotary Lombardi Award will be presented on December 6 at the Hilton Americas Hotel in Houston. A.J. Hawk of Ohio State was named the 36th winner of the award last year. The 44 preliminary candidates earned a place on the initial Watch List by earning All-American honors at the end of the 2005 or previous seasons, or by being named to their respective All Conference team as selected by the conference's head coaches.
