Arizona’s old-school line anchor: Colin Baxter was a Rimington-caliber center with NFL pedigree
Colin Baxter was a durable, high-IQ center for Arizona, earning Rimington Trophy buzz, second-team All-Pac-10 honors in 2009, and a reputation as the Wildcats’ ironman after 48 consecutive starts and 49 straight games played in the 2010 season. His calling card was reliability: strong pass protection, leadership as a co-captain, and the kind of toughness that had him playing through a torn meniscus before surgery ended his Arizona career. If a team wants a steady, battle-tested center who sets the tone up front, Baxter fits the bill.
