After blocking a true freshman’s blindside this season, Alabama junior left tackle Cam Robinson was named the recipient of the 2016 Outland Trophy, which is annually presented to the Nation’s Most Outstanding Interior Lineman, at the College Football Hall of Fame on Thursday.

Robinson leads an Alabama offensive line that has provided protection for a balanced attack that leads the SEC in scoring at 40.5 points per game and is second in total offense (471.3 yards per game), rushing offense (245.0 yards per game) and yards per rushing attempt (5.7).

Robinson won the award over Ohio State’s Pat Elflein and Washington State’s Cody O'Connell. The Monroe, La., native is the fourth Crimson Tide player to win it, joining Barrett Jones (2011), Andre Smith (2008) and Chris Samuels (1999) as Outland Trophy recipients.
