The Outland Trophy is given to the top interior lineman in the country each season and the semifinalists for 2022 were announced Wednesday night.
An astounding 4 of the 7 named semifinalists hail from B1G programs, including Northwestern’s Peter Soronski, Michigan’s Olusegun Oluwatimi, Minnesota’s John Michael Schmitz and Ohio State’s PAri Johnson Jr.
Here are the other 3 semifinalists.

The 7 will be whittled down to 3 o Nov. 29 before the winner is named on Dec. 8 at The Home Depot College Football Awards presented live on ESPN.
And the odds seem to be in the B1G’s favor.
