LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech senior offensive lineman Tony Morales was named Tuesday to the Rimington Trophy watch list which honors the nation's top center.Morales, one of seven Big 12 centers on the watch list, will make the move to center this fall after appearing in 10 games in 2015, all at right guard. He made six starts for a Red Raider offensive line that ranked among the top units in the country for least tackles for a loss allowed.
In addition, the Red Raiders ended the 2015 campaign as one of the top offenses in the country at Tech ranked second nationally in total offense, scoring offense and passing offense.
The Rimington Trophy has been presented annually to the nation's top center since 2000. The award is named in honor of Dave Rimington, who was a consensus first-team All-America center at Nebraska in 1981 and 1982. During that time, Rimington became the only two-time winner of the John Outland Trophy which is presented to the nation's top interior lineman.
