>>UConn's Crozier named to Rimington Trophy spring watch list

Ryan Crozier hasn't taken a snap at center yet (except during spring practice) but he showed enough promise while starting the final three games of his freshman season at left guard to receive national recognition by being named as one of the 52 centers named to the Rimington Trophy spring watch list.

Crozier is the only true sophomore on the list and one of five sophomores named to the watch list.<<

A little strange, no? Isn't he quite new to the position?

Better early than never! :D Actually they are late on the fact he will not be wearing that dog snot ugly helmet... Nice to know some think we have good things coming up front!

If it motivates our guys to kick the snot out of the opposition then it's a good thing. With all due respect, of course.

Congrats Ryan! This will likely just serve as extra motivation for him to continue his rapid development on the OL. Love the positive press for our guys and the program!

While it is obviously not a bad thing to be included, especially given that Crozier is a true sophomore and the way UConn's line played last year, I'm tempering my excitement at this point. The watch list includes almost half of FBS starting centers (54 players).

fair enough, but how many on the list have never snapped a ball in a game.

Admittedly one of many looking for any break in what has seemed like an endless number of dark cloudy days

I look at it as if the cloudy days are behind me. The old build was razed, a new foundation has been laid, and there is no doubt it was absolutely a painful process. I expect UConn to start building the first floor.

Agree, and continuing the metaphor, the building will be built using mostly raw and recycled materials, not the pre-cut/pre-fab stuff P5 "buildings" are made of. Ours will be a high-quality, custom-made, built-to-last Dog House we'll be proud to call our own and show off to our neighbors! :)

I like your analogy :)

Anyone who has taken snaps at the college level is on that list. Doesn't even matter if those snaps weren't at Center (which is the case here).
