Graduate Student is One of 80 on the anniversary list.
Florida Atlantic University's Junior Diaz, a graduate student who plays center on the Owls' football team, has been named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List, as announced by the Rimington committee on Friday.
Diaz transferred to FAU after graduating from Tulane University in 2018. He was the anchor for a 2018 offensive line that provided protection for running backs Devin Singletary and Kerrith Whyte, Jr., both selections in the 2019 NFL draft. The Miami native started in each of the Owls' 12 games a year ago and is projected to be a key offensive line staple in 2019. The man with a calm, observant presence has seen his named listed by two national magazines as a Conference USA preseason honoree (Phil Steele and Athlon).
