Eight SEC players are included on the 61-player Rimington Trophy Fall Watch List. The award is presented annually to the top center in Division I football.
The Rimington Trophy committee will announce its finalists on Dec. 5, 2016. The committee uses three All-America teams - Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News and Football Writers Association of America - to determine its winner, who will be recognized at the Rimington Trophy Presentation at the Rococo Theatre in Lincoln, Neb., on Sat., Jan. 14, 2017.
Last season's Rimington Trophy went to Alabama's Ryan Kelly, who was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts.
