Impressive company that Eslinger is in. Hat tip to Athlons for recognizing the dominance that was Greg Eslinger!

29. Greg Eslinger, C, Minnesota

2002-05 (OL #4)

Not many centers have an Outland Trophy on their mantle at home but Eslinger does (2005). He was a freshman All-American in 2002, a third-team All-American as a sophomore, a first-teamer in '04 and earned consensus All-American honors as a senior. He won the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s top center and earned Big Ten Lineman of the Year honors in ’05 too. The best stat for Eslinger, however, is that Minnesota never had a losing record during his four-year career and had the school’s first 10-win campaign since 1905.

Go Gophers!!
 

Wow. Very cool, and well-deserved. Eslinger was so technically sound, that were I an interior line coach I would make all my players watch him at work all season. Also, pretty damn good that he is the #4 OL on that list overall.
