TOLEDO, Ohio - Junior offensive lineman Nick Rosi was named to the official watch list for the 2023 Outland Trophy today. The award is presented annually to the top interior lineman in college football. Rosi is one of just five players from the Mid-American Conference to make the watch list.

Rosi is a two-time All-MAC honoree. He earned first-team All-MAC honors in 2022 and third-team all-league recognition in 2019.

The Rockets ranked second in the MAC in scoring (31.3), third in rushing offense (177.6), and third in passing efficiency (133.0) last season.

The recipient of the 2023 Outland Trophy will be announced on The Home Depot College Football Awards, live on ESPN in December. The official presentation to the winner will be made at the Outland Trophy Awards Dinner sponsored by Werner Enterprises and produced by the Greater Omaha Sports Committee in Omaha, Neb. on Jan. 10, 2024.
