In what has felt like another day at the office for Texas A&M, one of the football team’s leaders in the trenches has been rightfully added to a preseason watchlist for individual hardware heading into 2023.
On Friday afternoon, it was announced that offensive lineman Bryce Foster was included in the preseason watch list for the Rimington Trophy, as announced by the Rimington Trophy committee. The trophy is presented annually to the most outstanding center in NCAA Division I College Football.
Foster returns for the 2023 season after logging 16 starts at center during his first two seasons with the Maroon and White, including 12 as a freshman and four in 2022. While his season was cut short a year ago due to injury, he’ll look to return to the caliber of play from his freshman season, in which he led all true freshman centers with a 73.0 run-blocking grade, according to Pro Football Focus.
As a dual-sport athlete, Foster’s strength and athleticism make him a key fulcrum of an offensive line that is among the country’s leaders in returning production. In 2021, Foster was named to The Athletic Freshman All-America First Team, FWAA Freshman All-America Team, and the SEC All-Freshman Team. Additionally, he holds two all-time top-10 shot put records, including the fifth-best outdoor mark at 64’8.75″ and the sixth-best indoor toss at 61’7.75″.
