Haynesworth Adds Outland Trophy Watch List to Preseason Honors
Jul 26, 2022 | Football
NEW ORLEANS – Tulane center Sincere Haynesworth was named to the Outland Trophy Watch List Tuesday, his second such honor this summer.
The Pearland, Texas native made the Rimington Trophy Watch List (nation's most outstanding center) on Friday.
The Outland Trophy winner is chosen from three finalists who are a part of the annual FWAA All-America Team. The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the entire membership, selects a 26-man first team and eventually the three Outland finalists. Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner. Only interior linemen on offense or defense are eligible for the award; ends are not eligible.
The Outland Trophy is the third-oldest major college football award. Created in 1946 when Dr. John Outland presented the FWAA with a financial contribution to initiate the award, the Outland Trophy has been given to the best interior lineman in college football ever since. Dr. Outland, an All-American at the University of Pennsylvania in the late 1890s, eventually took up practice in Kansas City, Mo. An avid outdoorsman, Dr. Outland believed linemen did not get the credit they deserved and wanted an award to recognize them.
The Outland Trophy is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA), which encompasses college football's most prestigious awards. The NCFAA's 25 awards have honored more than 800 recipients since 1935. Visit NCFAA.org for more information.
Haynesworth helped lead a Green Wave unit that paved the way for 164.8 rushing yards per game in 2021 and started all 12 games as a sophomore. At season's end, he earned honorable mention all-conference recognition for the second consecutive season.
