USC senior center Max Tuerk is now an early candidate for three different awards that are given annually to the nation's best center or lineman after making the 2015 Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List on Tuesday. He's already been named to the 2015 Rimington Trophy Watch List which goes to the best center, and the Outland Trophy Watch List which is awarded to the best interior lineman in college football.
The Rotary Lombardi Award has been given out annually since 1970 to the best lineman or linebacker in college football. Brad Budde became the first and only Trojan to win the award in 1979.
