Multiple NCAA Centers Named to 2025 Rimington Trophy Watch List

Several college football centers have been named to the 2025 Rimington Trophy preseason watch list, which honors the nation's most outstanding center. Michigan State's Matt Gulbin, a graduate transfer from Wake Forest and honorable mention All-ACC last season, was recognized as he prepares for his first season with the Spartans. Baylor's Coleton Price, a redshirt junior who started all 13 games last season and allowed just 10 pressures, is among nine Big 12 centers named to the watch list; his performance helped Baylor's offensive line rank highly in national offensive efficiency metrics. UConn's Wes Hoeh, who earned the starting center role after transferring from Syracuse and posted strong pass and run blocking grades, was also named to the watch list, marking a rare honor for a Husky player. The Rimington Trophy committee collaborated with Pro Football Focus to evaluate players based on detailed performance data, ensuring the watch list reflects both nominations and objective analytics. These acknowledgments highlight key players to watch in the upcoming college football season as they vie for the prestigious Rimington Trophy.
