Defensive tackle earns football honors

Monday, August 27, 2007

The University of Kansas football can add another name to its list of potential award winners. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton earned a spot on the 38th Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List Friday.

The Lombardi Award is given to the best lineman in college football after each season. One hundred-three candidates made the preseason eligibility list.

McClinton is a team captain and the most experienced Jayhawks defender. The Garland, Texas, native made 51 tackles and six sacks in 2006 – both career highs. The Lombardi Watch List is the second preseason honor McClinton has earned. A media panel voted him to the preseason All-Big 12 Conference first team in July.
