NEW YORK CITY — Senior BYU offensive lineman Terence Brown has been named to the Rimington Trophy 2011 Fall Watch List.
The 6-foot-4, 330-pound center has started 26 games in a row going back to the start of his sophomore season. Last year he helped an offensive attack that ranked No. 42 nationally in rushing yards per game (168.1), No. 34 nationally with 283 first downs and allowed two sacks or less in 11 games. As a sophomore in 2009, Brown was part of a unit that ranked No. 17 nationally in passing yards per game (281.46) and No. 21 in total offense (427.15).
BYU has never had a Rimington Trophy recipient.
The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the Most Outstanding Center in NCAA Division I-A College Football. Since its inception, the Rimington Trophy has raised more than $2 million for its benefactor, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The 12-year old award is overseen by the Boomer Esiason Foundation, which is committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis and has raised $86 million for CF Research.
