Oklahoma State left tackle Russell Okung is one of three national finalists for the Outland Trophy, given to the top interior lineman in college football.

As a finalist, Okung will attend the Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards Show in Orlando, Fla., on Dec. 10, where the winner will be announced as part of ESPN's national broadcast of the event.

Okung, who has paved the way for three 1,000-yard running backs in as many years, leads all OSU players with 45 consecutive starts entering this week's game against Oklahoma.

Through 11 games this season, Okung has 121 knockdown blocks and 55 domination blocks. With 778 snaps played this year, he has not allowed a sack and has yielded only two quarterback pressures.

The other two finalists for the 2009 Outland Trophy are Nebraska defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh and Idaho offensive lineman Mike Iupati.
