Best Answer

Dave Rimington, a sophomore.

Rimington was named first team all Big 8 center in 1980.

How good was Rimington? These are some of his awards:

1981: First team All-America, winner of the Outland Trophy, Big 8 offensive player of the year.

1982: First team All-America, winner of the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Trophy, selected by National Football Foundation as a Scholar-Athlete, finished 5th in Heisman Trophy voting.

Obviously, he was also named to the All Big 8 team in 1981 and 1982. His jersey #50 was retired by the school after his senior season. He was voted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1997 and in 1999, he was named to the Walter Camp All-Century team and the Sports Illustrated All-Century team. There is an award named for him, the Rimington Trophy, given to college football's best offensive center.
