Boston College senior center Matt Tennant has been named to the 2009 Rimington Trophy Watch List.
Tennant started all 14 games at center last season and has started the last 28 games there. He was an All-ACC honorable mention selection in 2008 and has emerged into a team leader and all-star candidate on offense.
BC ranked 25th in the country in tackles for a loss allowed (4.77) and 49th in sacks allowed (1.69). The line only allowed 21 sacks with a pair of first-year starting quarterbacks behind it. He helped pavee the way for true freshman TB Montel Harris to break BC freshman records with 900 rushing yards and five 100-yard performances. Harris and classmate Josh Haden were the second-most prolific true freshman backfield duo in the country, averaging 109 yards a game.
