NOTRE DAME, Ind. — For the second-consecutive season, senior offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson has been named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List. The award annually recognizes the most outstanding center in NCAA Division I College Football.
Patterson, a member of both the Outland and Rimington Trophy Watch Lists in 2020, earned an honorable mention All-America nod from Phil Steele after only being able to play in eight games that season. Sidelined due to injury, Patterson’s performance in those eight games was impressive, and he finished 2020 with 21-career starts under his belt, while being named to the Associated Press All-Conference Second Team and by the conference to the All-ACC Third Team.
He was a member of the 2020 offensive line that was a finalist for the Joe Moore Award, honoring the best offensive line unit in college football. The line paved the way in 2020 for running back Kyren Williams’ 1000+ rushing yard season, and helped the Irish win the time of possession battle in 11-of-12 games in 2020.
