AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn senior Nick Brahms was named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List on Friday. The award is presented annually to the most outstanding center in college football. This year, the Trophy worked with Pro Football Focus (PFF) to narrow down its list to the top 40 centers.
For Brahms, it's the third straight year on the Rimington Trophy Watch List. The senior, who is one of only two centers in the SEC to make the watch list the last three years, has played in 40 career games at Auburn and has started every game at center each of the last two seasons. He was granted an extra year of eligibility this year because of COVID-19.
Between Brahms and Kaleb Kim (2019), Auburn has now had a center make the Rimington Trophy Watch List in each of the last four years. In 2014, former All-SEC offensive lineman Reese Dismukes became the first Auburn player to win the Rimington Trophy,
The Rimington Trophy committee is made up of selectors from three All-America Teams – Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News and Football Writers Association of America. The center with the most first-team votes will be determined the winner. If there is a tie with first-team votes, then the center with the most second-team votes will win. If there is still a tie, the winner will be determined by a majority vote from the Rimington Trophy Committee.
The winner will be recognized at the Rimington Trophy Presentation at the Rocco Theatre in Lincoln, Nebraska on Jan. 14, 2023.
