South Dakota State University center Jacob Ohnesorge has been named the winner of the 2017 Rimington Award for the Football Championship Subdivision.

A senior from Waunakee, Wisconsin, Ohnesorge is a three-time all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection, earning first-team honors during both his junior and senior seasons. He is expected to make his 53rd consecutive start Saturday, when the Jackrabbits travel to James Madison for an FCS playoff semifinal — a number that would match the most starts by a player in program history.

Earlier this week, Ohnesorge was named to the 2017 Associated Press FCS All-America First Team. He also recently received an invitation to play in the East-West Shrine Game Jan. 20 in St. Petersburg, Florida.
