Seth McLaughlin Wins 2024 Rimington Trophy

Seth McLaughlin, the Ohio State center, has been awarded the 2024 Rimington Trophy, recognizing him as the best center in college football, despite his season being cut short by a torn Achilles. This honor makes him the fourth Buckeye to win the award, following in the footsteps of notable players like Billy Price and Pat Elflein. McLaughlin's performance was remarkable; he allowed only four pressures and no sacks throughout the season, showcasing his skills as both a pass protector and run blocker. His leadership on the team continued even after his injury, as he remained an influential figure from the sidelines. McLaughlin's journey from facing criticism at Alabama to earning this prestigious accolade at Ohio State highlights his resilience and development in just one season with the Buckeyes. Ohio State now leads all schools with the most Rimington Trophy winners, surpassing Michigan.
