I don't think Molk was a finalist last year, but he stands as good a shot as anyone at winning the thing from what I can gather. Nice to see OSU's Brewster excluded, too.

This is a done deal.

Catchphrase!

I admire Dave Molk. He went from an underrecruited sort of short C with an odd undersized body...but with a solid mean-streak...to an excellent technician, quite mobile and quite strong Center who IMO will have a long NFL career if he stays healthy.
I zoned in on Molk during the Ohio game and he flat out knows how to use leverage very well and constantly stoned the Ohio interior D line.

Could see it coming down to Molk and Jones from Georgia, he's probably is going to go like mid to late 2nd Rd.

Rimington Award uses 4 AA teams (AFCA, FWAA, Sporting News, and Walter Camp) to determine winner. Peter Konz was named to AFCA AA team today (pretty unbelievable seeing he didn't play in last 3 games of the season). Molk has some ground to make up.

Molk was a finalist last year too (see this).
Also, Michigan has had one previous winner of this trophy (which dates back only to 2000): David Baas was a corecipient in 2004. Michigan has had at least one other finalist: Mark Bihl in 2006.
Michigan offensive lineman + four-letter last name = winner

Molk is the epitome of a MIchigan Man, Leadership, Commitment, Effort and Excellence. He deserves it, he's been dominating fools all year
Can any other center say that they blocked for a rushing attack with 2 (!) 1,000 yd rushers this year?? No, no they cannot

I'm sure all of us would love to have Molk on our respective NFL teams. Seems like a guy bound for great things at the next level.

I'm going to miss him.

When i purchase a game day program, these post season rewards make me drool! Always a pleasure to look back and marvel at the legends. Molk's number #50 should be a Legends number. The kids all blue. Hope to god he gets this. What do you guys think are the chances of him picking up the hardward?!?

100% not just saying that. I know he has won the 2011 Rimington Trophy
