NEW YORK - Brian Anderson, a junior on the North Carolina football team, has been named to the watch list for the Rimington Trophy, presented annually to the most outstanding center in NCAA Division I College Football.
Anderson, a product of Montgomery, Alabama, has made 14 starts at center for the Tar Heels over the last two seasons. Earlier this week, he was named the ACC's Offensive Lineman of the Week after anchoring a Tar Heel line that surrendered only one sack to Virginia Tech and helped his team pile up 399 rushing yards and 656 total yards, the fifth most in program history.
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.
Since its inception, the seventeen-year old award has raised over $4.45 million for the Boomer Esiason Foundation, which is committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis.
