Jonathan Luigs NFL Draft Bio

Jonathan Luigs (born August 11, 1986) is a former American college and professional football player who was an offensive lineman in the National Football League (NFL). Luigs played college football for the University of Arkansas, earned All-American honors, and won the 2007 Rimington Trophy as the most outstanding center in college football. Luigs played professionally for the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals for a single season in 2009.

Luigs attended the University of Arkansas, where he played for the Arkansas razorbacks football team from 2004 to 2007. After redshirting as true freshman in 2004, he became a starter on the Razorbacks offensive line at right guard after Robert Felton moved from guard to right tackle. After occasionally filling the void at center for an ailing Kyle Roper, Luigs started seven games at right guard and three games at center. Arkansas racked up 216.9 yards rushing per game to lead the SEC and ranked 12th nationally. The Hogs boasted a total of ten 100-yard rushing performances on the season, including five 100-yard efforts from SEC Freshman of the Year Darren McFadden.

In his sophomore campaign, Luigs established himself as one of the top centers in the nation. He was at the center of an offensive front that cleared the way for thirteen 100-yard rushing performances in 14 games and allowed only nine sacks in 14 games (0.64) to rank second nationally in fewest sacks allowed. In addition, for only the third time in SEC history, Arkansas featured two 1,000-yard running backs in Darren McFadden and Felix Jones on the same team. Luigs was a finalist for the 2006 Dave Rimington Trophy, awarded to college football's best center, but lost out to Dan Mozes. He also earned third-team All-America honors from The Associated Press and first-team sophomore All-America honors from College Football News.

As a junior, Luigs was the centerpiece of an offensive line that helped Arkansas lead the Southeastern Conference and rank fourth in the nation in rushing (286.5), rank second in the SEC and No. 17 in the nation in total offense. He had a team-leading overall grade of 90.36 for the season, including marks of 86.0 on running plays and a team-best 96.9 on passing plays. He also had 55 knockdown blocks, which ranked second on the team. Luigs was named to numerous All-America teams following his junior season in 2007, and on December 6, 2007, was named as the winner of the 2007 Rimington Trophy.

Finishing his career with a string of 49 consecutive starts, Luigs was again named a finalist for the Rimington Trophy. He delivered 66 knockdowns and graded 85.42 percent for blocking consistency. However, Arkansas offensive line was the main problem all season, as they placed 118th among the 119 major colleges, allowing 46 quarterback sacks for the season.
