Long, Steinkuhler Each Make Lombardi Award Watch List

A pair of Husker football teammates will be in competition for a second national award this season. After being named to the Outland Trophy watch list last week, junior guard Spencer Long and senior defensive tackle Baker Steinkuhler were both selected as part of the watch list for the Lombardi Award yesterday. The Lombardi Award is given annually to the nation’s best lineman. It has a long history of finding a home in Lincoln, including taking up prior residence in the Steinkuhler household. Baker’s father, Dean, won the award in 1983. He’s one of five Huskers to have won the honor, the last being Ndamukong Suh in 2009. Long was a second-team All-Big Ten pick at guard last season, while Steinkuhler has been an honorable mention all-conference performer each of the last two seasons.
