The Dave Rimington Trophy is awarded to the player considered to be the best center in college football.

A member of the National College Football Awards Association, the Rimington Trophy serves as a fundraiser for the Boomer Esiason Foundation's fight against cystic fibrosis.

The winner of the Rimington Trophy is selected by determining the consensus All-American center pick from four existing All-America teams.

If a tie still exists, the winner is determined by a majority vote from the Rimington Trophy committee.

The award is presented annually to a former collegiate or professional center who was either a legend on or off the field by making extraordinary contributions through business, civic, or philanthropic endeavors.
