Western Michigan had a fourth player added to a preseason watch list on Friday. Senior center Luke Juriga was named to the 2019 Rimington Trophy Watch list, an award presented to the most outstanding center in Division I college football.
Juriga joins three other teammates to have their names be added to preseason watch lists, including LeVante Bellamy (Maxwell, Doak Walker), Giovanni Ricci (Mackey) and D’Wayne Eskridge (Biletnikoff).
Since the inception of the Rimington Trophy, the award has raised over $4.2 million for the Boomer Esiason Foundation in its 17-year history to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis.
