WVU football: Frazier named to Rimington Trophy Watch List
MORGANTOWN — Make it three watch list appearances for Zach Frazier this week.
The West Virginia center was added to the Rimington Trophy Watch List on Friday, after receiving a place on the Wuerffel Trophy Watch List and the Outland Trophy Watch List earlier in the week.
Frazier, a 6-foot-3, 311-pound junior from Fairmont, has also received All-Big 12 first-team honors from media covering the league, as well as Athlon Sports, Phil Steele and Lindy’s. Walter Camp and Phil Steele publications have listed Frazier as a second-team All-American, and Athlon Sports had the center as a first-team All-American.
Frazier has 35 career games under his belt, including 34 of the 132 starts the Mountaineers return along the offensive line this season. He’s started 25 straight games. Last season, he earned first-team All-Big 12 honors after allowing just one sack and playing 11 games in which he didn’t miss an assignment.
The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the most outstanding center in the FBS by the Boomer Esiason Foundation.
The Rimington Trophy Committee worked with Pro Football Focus to create a list of the top 40 centers nationally for the watch list. Once the season begins, schools can nominate their centers for late addition based on in-season merit. Frazier was one of eight centers from the Big 12 included on the list released Friday.
The Rimington Trophy Presentation is scheduled for Jan. 13 in Lincoln, Nebraska.
