Georgia's Brandon Boykin Named To Lott Trophy Watch List

Georgia defensive back/kickoff returner Brandon Boykin has been named to the 2010 Lott Trophy Watch List, according to an announcement by Ronnie Lott and the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation on Thursday. Boykin, a 5-10, 183-pound junior from Fayetteville, Ga., set school records with 38 kickoff returns for 988 yards and three touchdowns last season, including a pair of 100-yard returns. Boykin tied a Southeastern Conference record with his three scoring returns and is the only player in league history to have two 100-yard returns in the same season. Boykin was also second on the team with three interceptions in 2009 and fourth on the Bulldog defense with 54 tackles. Boykin is one of only six players from the SEC on the 42-player Watch List. David Pollack is the only Bulldog to ever win the Lott Trophy after he was honored in 2004.“This is a superb list of young men,” said Lott as he announced the list. “We at the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation are always pleased to see the accomplishments of such outstanding student-athletes, all of whom are worthy of consideration for the Lott Trophy.” Sponsored by The Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation, the award is given to a player who exhibit’s the same characteristics Lott embodied during his distinguished career: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.
