UGA football junior offensive lineman Jared Wilson has been named to the 2024 Rimington Trophy Watch List, the Rimington Trophy Committee announced.
Wilson is one of 40 centers on Rimington’s list this season. Other SEC centers on the list include Jake Slaughter (Florida), Branson Hickman (Oklahoma), Cooper Mays (Tennessee), Jake Majors (Texas), Connor Lew (Auburn), Connor Tollison (Missouri), Ethen Miner (Mississippi State) and Vershon Lee (South Carolina).
The SEC leads the Rimington Trophy Watch List with 10 nominations, followed by the ACC with nine and the Big Ten with six.
The Rimington Trophy is awarded to the most outstanding center in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
