Benedictine’s Rashad Beckham is the winner of the Rimington Award for the NAIA level, one of four given out to the top centers, all this year to first time selections.
Beckman, a senior from Oceanside, Calif., was also named an All-American by the Victory Sports Network and the AFCA in 2025. He was a four-year starter for the Ravens and started 50 games in his career at center, never missing a game.
Beckham anchored an offensive line that allowed just four sacks all season with a 476.6 yards per game average. He is the fourth Rimington Award winner for Benedictine College.
Other division winners were Trent Fraley of North Dakota State for the FCS, Slade Edwards of Central Washington for NCAA DII and Caleb Bayer of Trinity University (Texas) for NCAA DIII. Other NAIA finalists this year for the award were Ryan Saddler of Grand View University, Blake Perry of Keiser University, Chris Foster of McPherson College and Joel Akers of Dordt University.
