The Rotary Lombardi Award is an award for college football in the United States. Awarded by the Rotary Club of Houston, Texas annually to the college football player "who best embodies the values and spirit of NFL's legendary coach Vince Lombardi"[1] the Rotary Lombardi Award program was created in 1970 shortly after the death of Lombardi.[2] The committee outlined the original criteria for eligibility for the award, which remained in place until this day:[3][4]
