Oklahoma's Vince Carter is one of six finalists for the Dave Rimington Trophy presented to the outstanding center in college football.  Carter has been a three-year starter for the Sooners and a key component on this year's team, which is the highest scoring club in school history. 

 

The four-year old trophy (Nebraska's Dominic Raiola, Ohio State's LeCharles Bentley, and Miami's Brett Romberg are past recipients) is presented by Canon, USA, Black & Decker and Power Sentry. Since its inception the Rimington Trophy Award has raised over $200,000 for the award's benefactor, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, which is hosted by the Boomer Esiason Foundation that to date has raised over $22,000,000 for CF Research.

 

Rimington the award's namesake was a consensus first-team All-America center at Nebraska in 1981 and '82-years in which he became the John Outland Trophy's only double winner as the nation's finest college interior lineman.
