Majors, a product of Prosper, is in his fourth season with the Longhorns. He has started 27 consecutive games at center and has appeared in 28 contests in his career.
Last season, he led an offensive line that trotted out the same starting five in all 13 games. The UT offense was able to score an average of 34.5 points per game and tallied 429.5 yards per contest, which was in the top 25 among Power 5 teams.
Bijan Robinson earned unanimous All-American honors and won the Doak Walker Award running behind a line with Majors in the middle. The Longhorns rushed for 2458 total yards last season and passed for 3138.
No Longhorn has ever won the Rimington. The 2022 winner of the award was Olusegun Oluwatimi from Michigan.
The Rimington Trophy Committee uses the Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News and Football Writers Association of America All-America teams to determine the award winner. The center with the most first-team votes on the three All-America teams will be determined the winner. If there is a tie, the center with the most second-team votes will win, per release.
