Allied Universal is the presenting sponsor of the 2024 Lott IMPACT Trophy. According to the announcement, the Lott IMPACT Trophy is a college football award presented annually to the nation’s top defensive player, who also exhibits the characteristics of Ronnie Lott by making an IMPACT on and off the field. IMPACT is an acronym for integrity, maturity, performance, academics, community and tenacity.

“Allied Universal is the leading defender of safety and security, protecting people, businesses and communities in more than 100 countries around the globe,” said Steve Jones, global chairman and CEO of Allied Universal. “So, it makes perfect sense for one great defender to present an award to another great defender. We are excited to play a part in recognizing this year’s recipient and want to wish all finalists the best of luck.”

The Lott IMPACT Trophy was named in honor of Ronnie Lott, a two time All-American for USC and College Football Hall of Fame Inductee. Lott went on to win four Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers, 10 trips to the Pro Bowl and a spot in Pro Football’s Hall of Fame.
