Sean Rawlings is entering his senior season with the Rebels and has become a very good player over his years in Oxford. At 6’5 and 294 lbs Rawlings has become one of the top centers in the nation. Out of Madison Ridgeland Academy Rawlings was ranked the no.25 center in the nation out of high school. Rawlings can play anywhere on the offensive line but has become the main option at center for coach Matt Luke.

Rawlings was joined on the 2018 Rimington Trophy watch-list by Florida center TJ McCoy, Georgia center Lamont Gaillard, Miss State center Elgton Jenkins, Texas A&M center Erik McCoy and South Carolina center Donell Stanley. The Rimington Trophy watch-list has 57 of the top centers in the nation on it. Of course, they are all very good and valuable players. Rawlings is up against some really good competition but his value to the Ole Miss Rebels offense is indisputable.
