NEW YORK — Oregon's Jackson Powers-Johnson was announced as one of three finalists for the 2023 Rimington Trophy on Monday morning by the Rimington Trophy Committee. The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the most outstanding center in college football.
Powers-Johnson is joined by Drake Nugent (Michigan) and Sedrick Van Pran (Georgia) as finalists for the award. He becomes the third Duck to be named a Rimington Trophy finalist, joining Hroniss Grasu (2013 & 2014) and Max Unger (2008).
In his first year as Oregon's starting center, Powers-Johnson has helped the Ducks lead the nation in fewest sacks allowed (5) for the second season in a row.
