NEWPORT BEACH, CA. – USC Head Coach, Lincoln Riley, will be the featured speaker at the 2023 Lott IMPACT® Trophy Watch List Luncheon on Thursday, May 4th 11:30am at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach for the 20th anniversary of the award. 

Riley is one of the most successful coaches in the country, who has experienced more success under age 40 than any other coach in college football history. Now entering his second season at USC, Riley has coached three Heisman Trophy Winners, won four Big 12 championships and has been to the College Football Playoff three times. 

USC’s Tuli Tuipulotu was a Lott IMPACT® Trophy finalist last season, one of four finalists all-time for the award. No USC player has ever won the Lott IMPACT® Trophy.

Named after Pro Football Hall of Famer, Ronnie Lott, the Lott IMPACT® Trophy Watch List is composed of the top 42 defensive players from across the country who demonstrate excellence in the field of athletics and exemplify the

IMPACT acronym: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.

The mission of The Pacific Club IMPACT® Foundation is to recognize and support both national and local charities that serve the youth of America with a focus on education and have a positive IMPACT® on the lives of young men and women.

For media interested in attending the Watch List Luncheon, please contact Trent Rush (TRush@lottimpacttrophy.org).
