No Longhorn has ever won the Rimington. The 2022 winner of the award was Olusegun Oluwatimi from Michigan.
The Rimington Trophy Committee uses the Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News and Football Writers Association of America All-America teams to determine the award winner. The center with the most first-team votes on the three All-America teams will be determined the winner. If there is a tie, the center with the most second-team votes will win, per release.
