Most importantly, it includes Alabama center, Antoine Caldwell.  This is the second preseason awards list that Caldwell’s name has appeared on.  He is also on the Outland Trophy watch list with fellow lineman Andre Smith.  Being named to the Rimmington watch list will only raise expectations for Caldwell to have a great season.

Rimmington Trophy Watch List

Most importantly, there are 2 Alabama players on there: Antoine Caldwell and Andre Smith.  Both of these guys are studs and will anchor the line for the Tide this year.  Each has something to prove that will give them the drive to win the Outland.  Caldwell will want to show that his lapse in judgement with the text book scandal last year was not indicitive of his character or his on the field play.  Smith will look to live up to the imense hype that follwed him to Tuscaloosa from Huffman 3 years ago.

Either way, these guys will be paving the road for Terry Grant and protecting John Parker Wilson this year.  And that’s a good thing.
