Game Cock center named to the Rimington Trophy List


A shout out to: University of South Carolina senior center Garrett Anderson is one of 44 players named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List. The Rimington Trophy annual honors the nation's top offensive center.

Anderson, a 6-4, 307-pounder from Irmo, S.C., has played in 35 of 38 games over the past three seasons, making 21 starts. He started all 13 games at center for the Gamecocks in 2008.

While more than a dozen All-America football teams are selected annually, the Rimington Trophy committee uses four prestigious teams to determine a winner:


* American Football Coaches Association

* Walter Camp Foundation

* Sporting News

* Football Writers Association of America

The winner of the 10-year old trophy will be honored at Rimington Trophy Presentation banquet at the Rococo Theater in Lincoln, Neb. on January 16, 2009.
