Dec 11, 2014, 2:57 AM | Updated: 4:37 pm

Scooby Wright III has been named the 2014 Rotary Lombardi Award winner, given to the nation’s standout Division I college football lineman.

The 6-foot-1, 246-pound Wright recorded 139 total tackles, 27 tackles for loss, 14 sacks. He helped lead the No.10 Arizona Wildcats to a Territorial Cup victory, a Pac-12 South title and a spot in the VIZIO Fiesta Bowl as a sophomore.

Wright’s latest achievement comes just a few days after he won the Bronko Nagurski Award Monday night, which is given to college football’s top defensive player.
