TCU offensive tackle Marcus Cannon, linebacker Tank Carder, defensive end Wayne Daniels and center Jake Kirkpatrick have been named to the watch list for the 2010 Rotary Lombardi Award.

TCU is tied with North Carolina and Wisconsin for the most players (four) on the list.

Former Horned Frog defensive end Jerry Hughes was one of four finalists for last year's Rotary Lombardi Award.

The Rotary Lombardi Award is presented to the nation's top college football lineman (offense or defense) or linebacker who, in addition to outstanding performance and ability, best exemplifies the discipline of Vince Lombardi.

Cannon, a 6-foot-5, 350-pound senior from Odessa, Texas, is a two-time All-Mountain West Conference selection. He did not allow a sack last season.

Cannon has been identified by ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. as the third-best offensive tackle available in the 2011 National Football League draft.

In his first season as a starter, Carder ranked second on TCU with 89 tackles. He topped the Horned Frogs while tying for second in the Mountain West Conference with 10 pass breakups. The Sweeny, Texas, native was the MWC Defensive Player of the Week in last year's win over Utah, totaling nine stops and returning an interception for a touchdown. He had four tackles for loss in the regular-season finale versus New Mexico.

Carder was tabbed by CollegeFootballNews.com as one of 12 "New Stars You Must Know" for the 2010 season.

Daniels, like Carder, earned All-MWC honors in his first season as a starter. His 5 1/2 sacks were second on the Horned Frogs behind only Hughes (11 1/2). Daniels topped TCU with two fumble recoveries and placed fourth with nine tackles for loss. The senior from Kilgore, Texas, totaled a career-high eight stops in the 14-10 win at Clemson.

Kirkpatrick was one of six finalists for the 2009 Rimington Trophy, honoring the nation's top center.

A first-team All-American by SI.com, Kirkpatrick sets TCU's blocking scheme on each play. A Tyler, Texas, native, Kirkpatrick did not play football until his senior year of high school.
