Jones named to Rimington Trophy Watch List
The Rimington Trophy is awarded to the nation’s premier center in college football. Former Hawkeye, Tyler Linderbaum, was the recipient of the 2021 Rimington Trophy.
Jones (6-foot-3, 290 pounds) started all 13 games at the center position as a sophomore in 2022 – his first on the Hawkeyes’ offensive line after moving from the defensive line during 2022 spring practice. The Council Bluffs, Iowa, native helped Iowa’s offense average 94.8 rushing yards per game.
The center with the most first team votes on three All-America teams (Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News, and Football Writers Association of America) will determine the winner of the Rimington Trophy. The award is named after Nebraska center Dave Rimington, who is a two-time All-American, College Football Hall of Fame inductee, and the only college football player to win the Outland Trophy twice.
The Hawkeyes open their season against Sept. 2 against Utah State. The sold-out game is set for an 11 a.m. (CT) kickoff.
