Dorsey became the second player to sweep the Bronko Nagurski and Outland Awards, joining Arizona defensive tackle Rob Waldrop in 1993. Dorsey also won the Rotary Lombardi Award as the nation's best lineman.
Dorsey anchored LSU's defense despite knee, lower back and hamstring injuries suffered during the 2007 season. He has registered 11.5 tackles for 48 yards in losses for the twice-beaten Tigers and made 64 total tackles, 34 unassisted. The 6-2, 299-pound senior has broken up three passes and been a major disruptive force for a defense which held lead the Tigers to the BCS title game against Ohio State.
"Yes, it is an honor to see they realize what I put into the game," Dorsey said after being presented with the Outland Trophy. "I am excited about this break to get healed up. I've just been relaxing. You know I'm going to be ready to go (against Ohio State)."
"He's a kid on the field you better design a way to block him," LSU coach Les Miles said. "As a person, he is humble and hard-working. He enjoys his hometown; he's the pied piper. The entire town (of Gonzales, La.) follows him around."
LSU's defense ranks third in total defense (283.85 yards allowed per game), ninth in pass defense (180.77) and 14th in rushing defense (103.1).
Dorsey won the award over Kansas offensive tackle Anthony Collins and Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long, the other two Outland Trophy finalists.
