07/22/22 | Football
NEW YORK — Oregon senior Alex Forsyth has been named to the preseason watch list for the Rimington Trophy, the award that honors the top center in college football.
Forsyth is on the preseason watch list for the second year in a row, and is one of five Pac-12 centers to be selected. The Ducks have had a finalist for the Rimington Trophy three times in program history – Max Unger in 2008, and Hroniss Grasu in 2013 and 2014.
A native of West Linn, Ore., Forsyth has been a second-team Pac-12 all-conference selection by the league's coaches each of the last two seasons. He played in 10 of Oregon's 14 games in 2021 while battling a midseason injury, starting nine at center for an offense that ranked in the top 25 nationally with 202.26 rushing yards per game and tied for sixth with 36 rushing touchdowns.
Forsyth earned a 69.6 overall grade from Pro Football Focus in 2021, with a 72.6 pass-blocking grade and a 71.4 run-blocking grade while playing 647 snaps at center. He was the Pac-12 Offensive Lineman of the Week following Oregon's historic upset win at No. 3 Ohio State, recording six knockdowns and earning an 82.4 pass-blocking grade from PFF.
