Â
TROY, Alabama – Troy junior center Deontae Crumitie has been named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List, the Boomer Esiason Foundation announced Tuesday.
Â
Crumitie is Troy's most experienced offensive lineman returning for 2017 with 19 starts under his belt after becoming the first true freshman to start a season opener on the offensive line in Troy's recorded history when he took the field for the 2015 opener.
Â
A native of Lake City, Fla., Crumitie started all 13 games in 2016 on an offensive line that led the nation with just eight sacks allowed all season long. He recorded a season-high six knockdown blocks in Troy's victory at South Alabama and had five in the Trojans' thrilling win over Appalachian State.
Â
Crumitie totaled more than 800 snaps on the season and allowed just one sack all year, which came at National Champion Clemson. He was a key member of an offensive line that paved the way for Jordan Chunn to become the ninth 1,000-yard rusher in school history. Troy's offensive line also blocked for the Sun Belt's leader in rushing touchdowns (Chunn), passing touchdowns (Brandon Silvers) and receptions (Emanuel Thompson).Â
Â
Coming off the best turnaround in the country, an Associated Press Top 25 ranking, the first 10-win season in the school's FBS history and a Dollar General Bowl title, Troy will be among the favorites in the Sun Belt Conference and the Group of Five with 17 starters and 54 lettermen returning from the 2016 squad.
Â
Troy set single-season records last season for both overall attendance and per-game attendance. The Trojans once again have six home games in The Vet including in-state matchups with Alabama State and South Alabama.
Â
Season ticket packages start at low as $60 for general admission seats and fans have multiple options to choose from including Family 4-Packs, Stadium Club and reserved seating.
