- After starting 11 games last season on the defensive line, Oregon State football’s Sumner Houston switched over to the center position for the 2017 season, to help rebuild an offensive line parting with Sean Harlow, Dustin Stanton and Gavin Andrews. On Monday, Houston’s vast potential at the position, helped him earn on a spot on the Rimington Trophy watch list, an award given each season to the best center in the country. Houston is one of five players from the Pac-12 on the list and the eight Beaver to ever make the award’s watch list.
