Ohio State center Josh Myers was named one of three finalists for the Rimington Trophy Tuesday. The award has been around since 2000 and goes to the most outstanding center in college football annually.
Myers, a fourth-year junior out of Miamisburg, Ohio, flirted with going to the NFL after last season but ultimately decided to join fellow offensive linemen Wyatt Davis and Thayer Munford in returning for one more run at some pretty special things. He probably never imagined having a season like this one, but he’s still one of the tops in the country at his position.
Ohio State has churned out some of the best centers over the last few years, and it looks to continue. In fact, if Myers wins the award, it’ll be three times in the last five years that a Buckeye center has done so, joining Pat Eflein (2016) and Billy Price (2017).
