Hopefully Mays wins the Rimington trophy tonight. Would be a first for the program, and he’s more than earned it.

Our Bob Johnson back in the late 60s played before there was any "Rimington" and he was the epitome of what a (pre-steroid) college football center is supposed to be.

He had multi-faceted talents. He was President of BET for a while. I'm sure we can find more things he accomplished like heavyweight champ.

yep after his time by a few. Award named for Dave Rimington, the only two time winner of the Outland trophy 81/82.

All-American. Jacobs Blocking Trophy. Two-time All-SEC. Twelve yrs in NFL. I guess he did OK.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A pair of Tennessee football offensive standouts earned All-America status from multiple outlets this week as organizations began rolling out their postseason honors for the 2024 season. Senior center Cooper Mays and junior running back Dylan Sampson were both tabbed Second Team All-America by The Athletic, while Mays earned second team recognition from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and Sampson collected second team honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

Mays becomes the fourth center in Tennessee history to be named an All-American and the first since Bob Johnson was a unanimous selection in 1967. Sampson is the 11th Tennessee running back to garner first or second team All-America honors and the first since Travis Stephens was recognized in 2001.
