HOUSTON, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Southeastern Conference standouts David Pollack of Georgia and Shawn Andrews of Arkansas were among the four finalists named for the Lombardi Award on Tuesday.
They were joined by defensive end David Ball of UCLA and defensive tackle Tommie Harris of Oklahoma. The award honors the top lineman or linebacker in college football each year.
The winner will be announced on Dec. 10.
The SEC has two finalists for the award for the first time since 1985, when Tracy Rocker of Auburn took the honor and Derrick Thomas of Alabama was a finalist.
Pollack, a junior defensive end, is fifth on Georgia's career sack list with 18 1/2. Andrews, a 353-pound offensive tackle, is the Razorback' first finalist since Billy Ray Smith in 1981 and '82. He played every offensive snap in a seven-overtime win over Kentucky.
Ball has 13 1/2 sacks this season and 27 1/5 in his career, both school records.
Harris was a finalist last year as a sophomore.
