Sophomore Cameron Jurgens has been named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List. The trophy is named after former Nebraska great Dave Rimington. It is awarded to the nation’s top center.

I understand that a large number of players make these watch lists so it isn’t really a big deal. Eight Big Ten players made it onto this list.

One of them was Jurgens. Better to be on the list than not.
