Oregon Center Iapani Laloulu Lands on Rimington Trophy Watch List
Although Iapani Laloulu is going to take snapping duties full time for the first time this season, he’s already being recognized as one of the nation’s best.
The Rimington Trophy announced its watch list for 2024 and Laloulu made the cut. As you’ll recall, Jackson Powers-Johnson won the award last year at Oregon.
Oregon fans got a glimpse of Laloulu’s ability at the end of last year when JPJ opted not to play in the Fiesta bowl game. They say when you don’t notice the center it means they typically did their job in a game.
Also today, tight end Terrance Ferguson was named to the John Mackey award watch list.
