Announced Friday morning, Michigan Wolverines center Olu Oluwatimi has made the watch list for the Rimington Award, given to college football’s best center.
The transfer from Virginia was among the three finalists for the award last year, ultimately losing out to Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum.
Other centers from the Big Ten Conference to make the list include John Michael Schmitz (Minnesota), Luke Wypler (Ohio State), Juice Scruggs (Penn State), Gus Hartwig (Purdue) and Joe Tippmann (Wisconsin).
Oluwatimi is expected to be a key role in Michigan’s offense this season and could very well be among Michigan’s best overall players in 2022.
