Eldridge was a 2020 All-Pac-12 First Team selection. He’s played in 36 games in his college career (11 with Oregon State). He started his career with Arizona. Oregon State should have a very competitive offensive line this upcoming season.
The Rimington Trophy committee narrowed down its list to the top 40 centers. The Trophy committee created a watchlist based both on nominations from the school and data provided by PFF. They will also be able to nominate centers for late addition based on in-season merit.
What is the Rimington Trophy?
From the www.rimingtontrophy.com...
“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 $4.8 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.

Founded in 1997, the NCFAA and its 25 awards now boast over 800 recipients, dating to 1935. Visit ncfaa.org to learn more about the association.”
