Addae Named to Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List

West Virginia safety Alonzo Addae earns his spot on the Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List

On Tuesday, the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation, sponsors of the annual Lott IMPACT Trophy, named West Virginia safety Alonzo Addae one of the 42 players on the 2021 Watch List.

College defensive players are nominated to the Watch List based on the IMPACT on their teams on and off the field. IMPACT is an acronym for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community, and Tenacity. The 42 represents Ronnie Lott’s number during his legendary career.

The winner of the Lott Trophy, which will be announced in December, will receive $25,000 for his university’s general scholarship fund.
