Clemson center makes Rimington Trophy watch list |
Redshirt graduate
Justin Falcinelli has made the Rimington Trophy watch list for the nation's top center.
The Middletown, Maryland product started all 14 games last season and posted 22 knockdowns in 932 snaps. Falcinelli (6-4 305) earned a first-team All-ACC selection, as well as an honorable mention All-American honor from College Football News. He has played 1,229 snaps over 38 career games. Falcinelli is a part of a Clemson offensive line depth chart that has played a combined 149 games with 76 starts. In his fifth year in the Clemson program, Falcinelli already has his undergraduate degree and is on track to receive a masters degree. Kyle Young (2000 and 2001) and Dalton Freeman (2011 and 2012) have been finalists for the Rimington Award, but Clemson has never had a Rimington Award winner. Ohio State's Billy Price won the award last season and was drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.
