Limmer Tabbed to Rimington Trophy Watch List
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas redshirt senior offensive lineman Beaux Limmer has been named to the Rimington Trophy preseason watch list, which is awarded annually to the nation’s best center.
The Tyler, Texas, native is coming off a sensational 2022 season as the team’s starting right guard in the first 12 games before getting the nod at center in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl win over Kansas on Dec. 28. Limmer, who totaled a team-leading 983 offensive snaps, only gave up four sacks and was penalized just five times all season. Limmer earned Third Team All-America honors from Pro Football Focus and was named Second Team All-SEC by PFF and the AP.
With Limmer anchoring the offensive line, the 2022 Razorback offense was historically productive, paving the way for 6,128 yards – the second-most in Arkansas history. The Hog run game averaged 236.7 yards per game and crossed the 3,000-yard mark for just the 10th time in school history. Arkansas set the school record for first downs in a single season with 311.
The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the most outstanding center in NCAA Division I College Football. Since its inception, the award has raised over $5 million for the Boomer Esiason Foundation.
Dave Rimington, the award’s namesake, was a consensus first-team All-America center at the University of Nebraska in 1981 and 1982, during which time he became the John Outland Trophy’s only two-time winner as the nation’s finest college interior lineman.
The Rimington Trophy is a member of the National College Football Awards Association. Founded in 1997, the NCFAA includes college football’s most prestigious awards and its 24 awards have honored more than 900 recipients dating back to 1935. This season, 12 NCFAA awards will honor national players of the week each Tuesday.
The Razorbacks start the season at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 2, against FCS foe Western Carolina at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Ark. The game will be available on SEC Network+/ESPN+.
