Announced Tuesday morning, Michigan Wolverines right guard Zak Zinter and center Olu Oluwatimi have been named to the watch list for the Outlander Trophy, given each year to college football’s best interior lineman, whether that be offense or defense.
Zinter is entering his third year with the Wolverines. He started at right guard in four of the six games during his freshman season in 2020, which isn’t something a true freshman is usually able to do in college, especially at a school like Michigan. He followed that up by playing at right guard in all 13 games in 2021 as a part of the Joe Moore Award winning offensive line.
