Ciron Black

BATON ROUGE — LSU offensive tackle Ciron Black is one of 40 players nationwide who have been named to the 2009 Outland Trophy Watch list, the organizers of the trophy announced on Tuesday.

Black, a senior from Tyler, Texas, is joined on the list by nine other players from the Southeastern Conference.

The Outland Trophy is awarded annually to the nation’s top interior linemen, which includes the positions of tackles, guards and centers on both sides of the football. Presented since 1946, the Outland Trophy is the third oldest award in major college football. Former LSU standout Glenn Dorsey captured the Outland Trophy in 2007.

Black goes into his final season with the Tigers having started 40 consecutive games, all coming at the left tackle position. For his career, Black has played 2,654 snaps from scrimmage and he hasn’t allowed a sack since his rookie year in 2006. Black set a school record by playing 1,031 snaps from scrimmage as a sophomore in 2007.

The winner of the 2009 Outland Trophy will be announced in Orlando, Fla., on Dec. 10 at the Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards Show.
