Hi, Jon. I think you missed one SEC award winner. Alabama’s Barrett Jones also took the 2012 Remington award as that nation’s top center. I believe he’s one of only two people two have won both the Remington and the Outland.That second person was Dave Remington, the Nebraska they named the award after. Thanks.

JJ should have won the Bednarik at least.
