Michigan State football's Matt Allen on Rimington Trophy watch list

Mark Dantonio coined it Thursday at Big Ten football media day. But what does Michigan State's new "Chase the Moment" mean to the Spartans? Chris Solari, Detroit Free Press

Matt Allen hopes to do something neither of his brothers, Jack and Brian, did during their Michigan State football careers. Or any other Spartan for that matter.

Win the Rimington Trophy.

The junior second-year starter was one of 80 players named to the watch list for the award that has since 2000 gone to the nation’s most outstanding center in college football.

Oldest brother Jack was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy in both 2014 and 2015.
