The former walk‑on has become a legitimate candidate for the Rimington Trophy, which honors the best center in the country, but Indiana gets its best five on the field with him at left guard. The group also features junior left tackle Jason Spriggs, who is a two‑time All‑Big Ten honorable mention selection by both the coaches and media, and right guard Dan Feeney, a former Freshman All‑American who missed all of last year with an injury. The group has allowed just 13 sacks, which is tied for the fifth‑fewest in the Big Ten. "Coming into the year, the coaches felt like that was going to be a strength," said Matt Weaver, who covers IU football for Peegs.com. "They've been pretty good, and it's a solid offensive line. It's probably not the best in the league, but it's up there. You don't have a running back putting up the numbers Tevin does without a pretty good line."
