NEW YORK – Redshirt senior center Jason Emerich has been named to the 2016 Rimington Trophy Spring Watch List, released on Tuesday, May 17.
The Rimington Trophy is presented to the most outstanding center in FBS football. The award is named after two-time Nebraska consensus All-American Dave Rimington and has been awarded annually since 2000.
Emerich is one of 59 centers on the watch list, including eight from ACC schools.
Emerich moved into the starting lineup in Week 3 last season against Central Michigan and started the last 10 games. He recorded five knockdown blocks and graded out the highest of any Orange lineman in Syracuse's matchup against No. 8 LSU. He also helped Syracuse rush for 242 yards against top-ranked Clemson, the most rushing yards allowed by the Tigers in 2015.
The New Ringgold, Pa. native is also star off the field. Emerich is the president of the Syracuse University chapter of Uplifting Athletes. In that role, he organized the group's first public "Lift for Life" last season. The event raised $12,000 to combat Anaplastic astrocytoma, a rare form of brain cancer former Orange punter Rob Long was diagnosed with in 2010. Emerich was also selected to All-ACC Academic Team in 2015.
