Damn, this is a good group.  Might be the best position group we've had yet

Minnesota’s John Michael Schmitz (https://www.on3.com/db/john-michael-schmitz-63798/) is the top returning center in the Big Ten and one of the best in Power Five football. After his first full season as a starter, Schmitz was named a second-team All-Big Ten selection by the league’s coaches.

In 2021, Schmitz was second to Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum (https://www.on3.com/db/tyler-linderbaum-117775/), now a Baltimore Raven, in Pro Football Focus’s overall offense and run blocking grade. Schmitz scored an 87.3 offense grade and an 86.2 run blocking grade compared to Linderbaum’s 95.5 and 96.3 in the categories.

I voted for him too, but the Virginia transfer wasn't in the Big Ten last year.  I believe he was a Rimington finalist
