Top DIAA Players of the Fall: Center

Today we end January with our top DIAA Centers of the fall of 2022.

This is part of our list of the best 200 players from this division who played their 15s in the fall. 

We try to have a fairly consistent spread of positions in our list. With our list that actually numbers 191, you'd expect about 25 or 26 centers. We have 30, with is pretty close. Overall with our outside backs (center, wing, and fullback) we have 63 listed, and if you distributed picks exactly equally you'd expect to see 64, so we're fairly content with that.


The GRR Top Players are brought to you by Next Phase Rugby, a USA-made and maintained app that connects college rugby programs and HS rugby players. It's a great way for college programs to find players they wouldn't know otherwise, and a great way for high schoolers to create and finalize their best college prospects. Go to nextphaserugby.com to download the app.


In our list of 30 players, 26 different colleges are represented.
