Outland Trophy Watch list has 12 Big Ten names on it!
Posted by Tim Gossett on June 30, 2008
The Outland Trophy awards the nation’s top interior lineman, and the award has been garnered by a Big Ten player 3 of the last five years–Iowa’s Robert Gallery won in 2003, while Minnesota’s Greg Eslinger and Wisconsin’s Joe Thomas claimed the honored in 2005 and 2006. They might as well call it the Big Ten interior lineman award 
And with this type of prestige and tradition, there’s no surprise that there are 12 potential candidates for this year’s award. This year’s Big Ten candidates include Illinois’ Xavier Fulton and Ryan McDonald, Iowa’s Mitch King and Matt Kroul, Michigan’s Terrance Taylor, Northwestern’s John Gill, Ohio State’s Alex Boone and Steve Rehring, Penn State’s Gerald Cadogan and A.Q. Shipley, Purdue’s Sean Sester, and Wisconsin’s Kraig Urbik.
A lot of great names up there, and I would fully expect one of them to have their name engraved on this year’s trophy.
