Brad Lundblade on Rimington Trophy Spring Watch List

Let the list watches begin.

Senior Brad Lundblade was among 63 centers included on the spring watch list for the Rimington Trophy. The award goes to the nation’s top center. Lundblade made last year’s watch list, as well.

Lundblade started off his career as a last-minute addition to the 2014 class. The walk-on was thrust into the fire during that up-and-down 2014 season, appearing in seven games. He got his first start at Baylor — snapping the ball to another true freshman in his first start.

Lundblade was put on scholarship prior to his sophomore season in 2015 and has been the Cowboys’ starting center since. He’s been a big part of the growth along the offensive line as a unit and is one of the leaders up front.

The award is given to the consensus All-American center from the Walter Camp Foundation, the Sporting News and the Football Writers Association of America, based on the highest number of first-place votes.
