On Tuesday morning, Miami Hurricanes Center Tyler Gauthier was named to the 2018 Outland Trophy Watchlist.
A junior from Venice, FL, Gauthier has previously been listed as a candidate for the Rimington Award, given annually to the nation’s top Center. He will undoubtedly be a key member of Miami’s offensive line, which looks to raise its level of play and enable Miami’s multitude of skill players to flourish in 2018.
The Outland Trophy winner is chosen from three finalists who are a part of the annual FWAA All-America Team. The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the entire membership, selects a 26-man first team and eventually the three Outland finalists.
