Lombardi Award

Jet, Jan 5, 2004

LOMBARDI AWARD: Oklahoma defensive tackle Tommie Harris shows off his Lombardi Award trophy. The Sooners defensive tackle won the award as the nation's top college lineman after he was runner-up last year. Harris, a two-time finalist, beat out Shawn Andrews of Arkansas, Dave Ball of UCLA and David Pollack of Georgia for the 40-pound granite trophy.

"I didn't think I was going to get the award," said Harris. "But it's nice to get some accolades for the fat boys in the line instead of the pretty boys getting all the praise." The third Oklahoma player to win the honor, Harris is considering skipping his senior season to play in the NFL next year.
