Junior center Mason Cole has made the 2016 Rimington Trophy watch list, which is given annually to college football’s top center.
On the heels of Mason Schreck’s inclusion on the Mackey Watch List, UB Football added another notch of national recognition this afternoon, as sophomore center James O’Hagan has been added to the Rimington Trophy watch list. He’s one of 61 players on this year’s list of candidates.
A one-time walk-on, Lundblade was put on scholarship before the opening of 2015 fall camp and started every game of the 2015 season.
Guillermo was a second-team All-ACC selection a year ago when he helped the Tigers to a 14-1 record and the Championship game of the College Football Playoff. He didn’t commit a penalty over the final nine games and didn’t allow a sack over the last seven contests.
Fuller was named second-team All-Big 12 by the Associated Press, league coaches, San Antonio-Express News and Waco Tribune-Herald. He played more than 900 snaps and finished with a 78 percent offensive line grade while tallying 54 knockdowns.
Kublanow, a native of Marietta, Ga., is coming off a junior season that saw him earn Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference Second Team honors.
Mason Cole has never played center, but is on the Rimington Trophy watch list.
Risner’s first-time inclusion on the list marks the fifth time in the last seven years a Wildcat has been a candidate for the award that honors the nation’s premier center. The center with the most first team votes from those three teams will determine the victor. The center with the most first team votes on the Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News and Football Writers Association of America teams will be the victor.
The Rimington Trophy was first awarded in 2000. The Rimington Trophy committee uses the Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News and Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) All-America teams to select its victor. The victor will be honored at a ceremony in Lincoln, Nebraska on January 14.
