Awarded to nation’s top center

RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State center Grant Gibson has been named to the 2022 Rimington Trophy Watch List. Entering his fourth season as the Pack's starter, Gibson was a third-team All-ACC selection last season when he led the Wolfpack with 828 snaps from scrimmage.

He has started the last 35 games at center for NC State.

The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the most outstanding center in NCAA Division I College Football.

This year, the Trophy committee worked with Pro Football Focus (PFF) to narrow down its list to the top 40 centers. PFF grades every player on every play of every game on how well they execute their given assignment. That play-by-play grading allowed the Trophy committee to create a watchlist based both on nominations from the schools and data provided by PFF.
