Dave Rimington Biography

Dave Rimington was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska and played his collegiate football at his home state University of Nebraska. During his college career he made his home state proud, earning First-Team All-American and Big Eight Offensive Player of the Year honors in 1981, making him the only lineman to ever be named Offensive Player of the Year in conference history. The following year he was named the Big Eight Athlete of the Year and won the Outland Trophy for the second consecutive season as the nation’s top interior offensive lineman. For his contributions to the Cornhuskers during his career he was honored by having his No. 50 jersey retired in 1982. In the 1983 NFL Draft he was selected with the 25th overall pick in the first round by the Cincinnati Bengals. Rimington played four seasons with the Bengals from 1983 to 1987 and then finished his career with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1989. He’s since been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, and now has an award named in his honor. The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the nation’s top collegiate center.
