Virginia Tech defensive tackle Luther Maddy was added this week to the the 2015 Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List, joining teammates Ken Ekanem and Dadi Lhomme Nicolas, who had both earlier named to the watch list.
Maddy, a redshirt-senior from Delray Beach, Florida, has played in 43 career games for Tech (33 starts), and has accumulated 118 tackles (57 solo), 22.5 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, 42 quarterback hurries, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble. He is coming off a knee injury that cost him all but four games last season.
Ekanem, a junior out of Centreville, was a third-team All-ACC selection by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA) in 2014. He started all 13 games a year ago, leading the squad with 9.5 sacks. He also added 53 tackles, including 14.5 for loss, to go with 19 quarterback hurries. The redshirt junior has seen action in 24 career games for the Hokies.
Nicolas, who is also a redshirt-senior from Delray Beach, Florida, registered a team-best 18.5 tackles for loss along with nine sacks, 72 tackles and 35 quarterback hurries. He has played in 36 career games (14 starts), owning 15 sacks, 29 tackles for loss, 52 quarterback hurries, an interception and a fumble recovery.
