Nardo Memorial Trophy was an individual honor awarded by the University of Maryland football team to its most outstanding lineman of the past season.The award was named in honor of 2LT Anthony C. Nardo, a United States Army officer killed in action in Belgium during the Second World War. Anthony was born to Frank and Carmela Nardo in Baltimore, Maryland and attended the University of Maryland where he played football in 1942, before being commissioned into the Army.

His remains are interred at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial in Luxembourg.To date, the earliest news reference to this trophy appears to be an article published in The Baltimore Sun newspaper (then referred to as simply \"The Sun\") regarding awards for the 1949 season on February 25, 1950. Prior to this date, news articles refer simply to players being voted as the best lineman for the year.

From 1970 to 1995, it was replaced by the Bob Beall Trophy and Tommy Marcos Trophy.Originally conceived as a perpetual award with winners' names inscribed from year to year, the nature of the trophy was changed in 1952 after Bob Ward's multiple receipt of this honor. Ward was given the original trophy \"for his permanent possession,\" after being voted this award for the 1951 season. In prior years, the award winner had been given a replica trophy."@en }
