Oklahoma may not take home the Joe Moore Award for the most outstanding offensive line unit in college football this year, but one of the Sooners’ offensive lineman is up for some hardware.
Redshirt sophomore center Creed Humphrey was the only returning starter off the 2018 Joe Moore Award winning offensive line. His play a year after has garnered plenty of attention, culminating in becoming a finalist for the Rimington Trophy, the Trophy’s committee announced on Monday. The Rimington Trophy is honored annually to the nation’s top center.
The Shawnee, Oklahoma, native has started in 25 of the last 27 games for Oklahoma, including all 13 in 2019. According to the Rimington Trophy release for the finalists, in 799 plays this season, Humphrey has registered 93 knockdowns without allowing a sack.
Last week, Oklahoma’s center was named the Big 12 Co-Offensive Lineman of the Year.
Humphrey is up for the Rimington Trophy alongside Tyler Biadasz of Wisconsin and Matt Hennessy of Temple.
The winner of the Rimington Trophy will be announced during the ESPNU Red Carpet show prior to the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Thursday.
