Western Kentucky offensive lineman Dennis Edwards was named to the 2017 Rimington Trophy spring watch list, the Boomer Esiason Foundation announced Monday. The WKU junior is one of 63 in Division I football to be mentioned in the running for most outstanding center in the country.
Edwards has started 26 of 28 games for the Hilltoppers in his first two seasons at right guard, but took the majority of repetitions at center during spring practice as the team looks to replace All-Conference USA selection and four-year starter Max Halpin.
WKU had the top scoring offense last year at 45.
