TROY, Ala. – Troy senior center Deontae Crumitie has been named to the Outland Trophy Watch List, the National Football Foundation announced Tuesday morning. The Outland Trophy is presented annually to the nation's top interior lineman.
Â
Crumitie, a native of Lake City, Fla., earned All-Sun Belt Second Team honors last season as the leader on Troy's offensive front that finished 12th nationally in fewest sacks allowed. A three-year starter for the Trojans, Crumitie has started 26 consecutive games and 32 total games in his career.
Â
A Preseason All-Sun Belt First Team selection, Crumitie allowed just one sack in more than 700 snaps in Troy's Sun Belt Conference championship season and graded out at 90 percent or better in seven different contests. Crumitie was credited with three great blocks and two knockdowns in Troy's victory at LSU.
Â
Crumitie is one of just 82 interior linemen selected to the Outland Trophy Watch List and one of just two from the Sun Belt Conference. He was earlier named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List for the nation's premier center.
Â
The Trojans set a school FBS record with 11 wins en route to their sixth Sun Belt Conference championship and a New Orleans Bowl title in 2017. Troy's 21 victories over the past two seasons are the eighth most in the country and the Trojans will carry the nation's fourth-longest active winning streak of seven games into the season opener against Boise State.
Season ticket packages start as low as $60 and all ticket prices are identical to those from 2017. Troy plays host to six home games during the 2018 campaign, including visits from Boise State, Georgia State and Louisiana.
