Linderbaum was recently named a finalist for the 2021 Rotary Lombardi Award. The award is annually given to the college football offensive or defensive lineman who “in addition to outstanding performance and ability, best exemplifies the character and discipline of NFL Hall of Fame Head Coach Vince Lombardi.”
