Rimington Trophy Announces Three Finalists

Centers, Logan Jones, Iapani Laloulu & Jake Slaughter Named Top Three DI Centers

The Rimington Trophy Committee announces 2025 Finalists for the Most Outstanding Center

Finalists

Logan Jones, University of Iowa
Logan Jones anchors Iowa’s offensive line, which is a Joe Moore Award semifinalist. Jones, a first-team All-Big Ten honoree, has started 50 career games and has served as a game captain all 12 games this season. He is the top-rated center in the country by Pro Football Focus and has not been flagged for an offensive holding penalty in 2025. Jones and the Hawkeyes outrushed their opponents nine times in 2025. Jones’ protection along with the rest of the line has helped quarterback Mark Gronowski break school single-season records for rushing yards (491) and rushing touchdowns (15) by a quarterback. Jones was named first team Big Ten and first team All-America honors by DraftInsiders.com

Iapani Laloulu, University of Oregon
Iapani Laloulu has started all 12 games for the Ducks at center in 2025 and has started 27 consecutive games for Oregon dating back to 2023. An all-Big Ten second-team selection by the league’s coaches. No. 2 among Big Ten centers and fourth among FBS centers with an 89.1 pass-blocking grade by Pro Football Focus. Has allowed just one sack and only six total pressures in 333 pass-blocking opportunities this season. In his career, has surrendered just one total sack and 18 pressures in 1,051 pass-blocking opportunities.

Jake Slaughter, University of Florida
Jake Slaughter started all 12 games at center for the Florida Gators in 2025, posting a 100 percent block rate and zero pressures in eight of 12 games, including four of the last five. For the season he allowed just one sack, one quarterback hit and two hurries. He anchored an offensive line that saw running back Jadan Baugh finish third in the SEC with 1,170 rushing yards. Slaughter was named a 2024 First-Team All-American by the Associated Press and ESPN. He was named 2nd team All-America honors by DraftInsiders.com

Selection Process

While more than a dozen All-America teams are selected annually, the Rimington Trophy committee uses these three prestigious teams to determine a winner:
Walter Camp Foundation (WCF)
Sporting News (SN)
Football Writers Association of America (FWAA)

Because the selectors of these three All-America teams can place centers in a “mix” of offensive linemen that includes guards and tackles, their 11-man first teams can often have two centers. The Rimington Trophy committee’s policy is to count all players that play primarily the center position for their respective teams as centers, even though they may be listed as guards or tackles on the All- America teams.

The center with the most first team votes will be determined the winner. If there is a tie with first team votes, then the center with the most second team votes will win. If there is still a tie, the winner will be determined by a majority vote from the Rimington Trophy Committee.

Winner will be announced this Friday, December 12th on the ESPN College Football Awards Show.
