Minnesota Golden Gophers offensive lineman Blaise Andries has been named to the Outland Trophy watch list. The Outland Trophy is awarded annually to the best interior offensive lineman in college football as voted by the Football Writers Association of America.
Andries enters his third season as a starter for the Minnesota Movers and has made 26 consecutive starts in maroon and gold since redshirting as a true freshman. His primary position is at left guard, but Andries also started two games at right tackle and one at left tackle last season. He was named All-Big Ten Honorable Mention as a redshirt freshman before being elevated to All-Big Ten Third Team the following year.
