TROY, Alabama – Troy senior offensive lineman Dalton Bennett has been named to the Rimington Trophy Award Watch List, the Rimington Trophy Committee announced Tuesday. Bennett is one of 50 players nationally and the lone Sun Belt Conference player on the watch list.
Â
A native of Marianna, Fla., Bennett has started 24 straight games entering his senior season for the Trojans. He finished his junior season with 30 knockdown blocks and graded out at 86.5 percent. Bennett allowed just one sack over the final 10 games of the season and was a key piece of an offensive line that protected for NCAA record-setting quarterback Brandon Silvers; Silvers set the NCAA FBS record for completion percentage by a freshman as he completed 191 of his 271 pass attempts (70.5 percent).
Â
The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the most outstanding center in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Rimington Trophy uses the All-America teams named by the Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News and Football Writers Association of America to determine the recipient of the award. The winner will be recognized at the Rococo Theatre in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Jan. 16, 2016.
