NEW YORK - Brian Anderson, a junior on the North Carolina football team, has been named to the watch list for the Rimington Trophy, presented annually to the most outstanding center in NCAA Division I College Football.
Anderson, a product of Montgomery, Alabama, has made 14 starts at center for the Tar Heels over the last two seasons. Earlier this week, he was named the ACC's Offensive Lineman of the Week after anchoring a Tar Heel line that surrendered only one sack to Virginia Tech and helped his team pile up 399 rushing yards and 656 total yards, the fifth most in program history.
