Georgia Bulldogs: Ben Jones Named To 2011 Rimington Watch List

The 2011 Rimington Trophy Spring Watch List has been released and Georgia center, Ben Jones, makes his second consecutive appearance. Jones, a senior, is one of six SEC players named on the list for the trophy given to college football's "most outstanding center" each year.

The SEC and the Big Ten had the most nominees.

Other SEC players named on the list include T.J. Johnson (South Carolina), P.J. Lonergan (LSU), Matt Smith (Kentucky), Travis Swanson (Arkansas), and William Vlachos (Alabama).

Jones is considered by some to be one of the top centers in the country and is currently projected to be a late second, early third, round draft pick in 2012.

He's made 35 starts and appeared in 39 games for Georgia—including 12 starts in 2010. He was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week following Georgia's win over Vanderbilt. A game in which the team tallied more than 500 yards of total offense.
