A ROCK-SOLID LINEBACKER
Buckeyes' Laurinaitis on 2008 Lombardi watch list
By MATT MARKEY
BLADE SPORTS WRITER
COLUMBUS - The Lombardi Award is a solid block of granite. Nothing ornate or glitzy. It is given each year to the top lineman or linebacker in college football, a group that customarily fits the same general description.
When the preliminary watch list for this year's Rotary Lombardi Award was released yesterday, about six months before the first game, it featured a number of the blue collar "blocks of granite" types that will provide the foundation for some of the country's best teams.
At the head of that class is Ohio State linebacker James Laurinaitis, a finalist for last season's Lombardi Award, and a previous winner of the Butkus (best linebacker) and Nagurski (best defensive player) awards.
