Oregon State football offensive lineman Sumner Houston has been selected for the second straight year to the initial Rimington Trophy watch list, presented annually to the nation's top center.
The 6-2, 290-pound Houston has played in 36 games. He started 11 games last season at center and another eight at defensive tackle as a sophomore before moving to the offensive side of the ball between the 2016 and '17 seasons.
The Dublin, Calif., native has been honored by the Pac-12 Conference for his academic success three times and will graduate in December with a bachelor's degree in construction engineering management.
