Dillon Day Named To Rimington Trophy Watch List
NEW YORK – For the third straight year, Mississippi State senior Dillon Day is one of 63 players nationally who have been named to the official watch list for the Rimington Trophy, which is presented annually to college football’s most outstanding center.
Day, a native of West Monroe, La., enters his senior campaign having started 33 career games. In 2013, Day paved the way for a record-setting Bulldog offense that shattered school marks in total yards (5,674), yards per game (434.4) and first downs (305).
The winner of the Rimington Trophy will be selected by determining the consensus All-American center pick from three existing All-America Teams. While more than a dozen All-America football teams are selected annually, the Rimington Trophy committee will use these prestigious teams to determine a winner: Walter Camp Foundation (WCF), Sporting News (SN) and Football Writers Association of America (FWAA).
