GoFrogs: Avila on Rimington Trophy Watch List

NEW YORK -- TCU's Steve Avila has been named to the watch list for the Rimington Trophy, presented annually to the nation's top center.

A sophomore from Arlington, Texas, Avila is in his first season as a starter. He played in 11 games in 2019.

TCU's Jake Kirkpatrick was the 2010 recipient of the Rimington Trophy.

I'm glad for us doing what's right and evangelizing our kids but every center in the country could have been on this watch list if the school had nominated them. There are 8 nominees from the Big 12 and 13 from the ACC.

New York, NY --- Wednesday, October 14, 2020

The Rimington Trophy Committee adjusted its procedures with consideration to the COVID-19 pandemic, choosing to hold its 2020 watch list until play began and a plan was implemented across all Division I conferences. This year, it accepted all nominations from eligible Division I programs with the goal of highlighting as many collegiate centers as possible and showing the outstanding commitment of the following students athletes.

EDIT: I know that we never get injury updates from inside the program but does anyone know if he returned to the field after leaving against KSU?

This is an award for people who can block, right?

Maybe he can show the Cowboys center how to snap a ball

Biggest news here for me was that he now goes by "Steve" instead of Esteban

What's you doing these days Jake? Wanna coach OL?
