Ohio State Buckeyes center Seth McLaughlin has been named to the Rimington Trophy watchlist.
The Rimington Trophy is an award to honor the nations best center during the college football season. On Friday afternoon, the 2024 preseason watchlist for the award was named and theMcLaughlin has been taking the first team reps at center during fall camp and has been expected to win the starting job for a while. Ohio State's starting center from last year, Carson Hinzman, is part of the competition for the starting right guard job.
McLaughlin's ability to add experience to the Ohio State offensive line could end up being extremely beneficial for the Buckeyes. If he can provide consistent play in the middle of the offensive line, that will help everyone else around him. It could also put him in serious contention to win the Rimington Trophy.

Perenic/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK The Rimington Trophy committee announced that they worked with Pro Football Focus to narrow down the list of centers to 40. Once the season begins, schools still have the ability to nominate their centers for late additions based on in-season merit.
As the list of representatives narrows down late in the season to semi-finalists and then finalists, it will be interesting to see if McLaughlin remains among the list of top centers for this year's award.
