For the second season in a row, Will Putnam has received preseason praise for his work with Clemson Football.
Putnam was again named to the Rimington Trophy preseason watchlist. The Rimington is awarded annually to the best center in college football.
Putnam was nominated last season before he had ever taken a nap in a real game for the Tigers. He has only played center in the 2022 spring game to that point. During his first seasons at Clemson, Putnam played guard.
The Rimington Trophy is named for Dave Rimington, who played center for the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the late 1970s.
