If the 2013 Rimington Trophy watch list is any indication, the SEC will be stout up the middle next season on the offensive line.
The Rimington Trophy is awarded each year to the top center in college football, and nine of the 44 players on the preseason watch list are from the SEC -- which is the most in the country.
Alabama's Barrett Jones won the award last season.
Here's a look at the nine SEC centers on the 2013 list:
David Andrews, Georgia
Evan Boehm, Missouri
Dillon Day, Mississippi State
Reese Dismukes, Auburn
Jonotthan Harrison, Florida
Ryan Kelly, Alabama
James Stone, Tennessee
Travis Swanson, Arkansas
Evan Swindall, Ole Miss
