Jacob Gideon Named to Rimington Trophy Watch List

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Western Michigan redshirt junior Jacob Gideon has been named to the 2023 Rimington Trophy Watch List.

The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the most outstanding center in NCAA Division I College Football. Since its inception, the award has raised over $5 million for the Boomer Esiason Foundation.

Dave Rimington, the award's namesake, was a consensus first-team All-America center at the University of Nebraska in 1981 and 1982, during which time he became the John Outland Trophy's only two-time winner as the nation's finest college interior lineman. For more on the Rimington Trophy, visit www.
