OSU’s Pettigrew on Lombardi watch list
From staff reports
STILLWATER — Oklahoma State senior tight end Brandon Pettigrew is one of 49 offensive players named to the preseason watch list for the Rotary Lombardi Award, presented by Wachovia.
The Lombardi Award, now in its 39th year, honors the top lineman in college football. The 49 offensive players are joined by 54 defensive candidates. The award will be presented in Houston on Dec. 10.
The Rotary Lombardi Watch List, intended as a reference tool for the selection committee, will be periodically updated and revised through the conclusion of the voting to determine the 12 semifinalists for 2008.
Pettigrew is considered one of America’s top tight ends following a junior season that saw him earn first-team all-Big 12 Conference honors as selected by the league’s head coaches. For the season he had 35 catches for 540 yards.
He enters his senior season with 70 career receptions to rank No. 22 all-time at Oklahoma State. He also has 978 receiving yards and is on track to become the 21st player in OSU history to reach 1,000 yards in receiving.
