The Lott IMPACT Trophy announced its watch list for 2019 on Friday, which featured 42 players from 41 different universities -- Michigan was the only school with two candidates. Representing Alabama among the list of candidates was Alabama junior inside linebacker Dylan Moses.

The Lott IMPACT Trophy is awarded annually to individuals who demonstrate excellence in the field of athletics and recognizes college football’s Defensive Player of the Year who best exemplifies the IMPACT acronym: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.

Moses recorded a team-high 86 tackles last year as a sophomore starter. He also totaled 10 tackles for loss (-41 yards) and 3.5 sacks (-29 yards), while adding one pass breakup, one forced fumble and one quarterback pressure to his season-long totals. The Baton Rouge, La., native was a finalist for the Butkus Award, which is presented annually to the nation’s top linebacker.

The former 5-star recruit also earned second-team All-American recognition from the Walter Camp Football Foundation and was selected as an All-SEC second-team honoree by the league coaches. The Crimson Tide coaching staff selected Moses as a defensive player of the week following Alabama’s wins over conference opponents Texas A&M, LSU and Auburn back in 2018.

Former Alabama linebacker DeMeco Ryans won the Lott IMPACT Trophy in 2005.

The 16th annual Lott IMPACT Trophy dinner will be held Dec. 15 at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach, Calif. The trophy winner’s university receives $25,000 toward its general scholarship fund.
