Quiet, tough interior lineman who earned trust in the trenches
Ryan Tolar’s best-known trait is straightforward: he was a physical, low-drama interior lineman who kept earning snaps and leadership roles at Washington. In 2009, he was named a team captain and was listed as a starter at guard/center, with reports noting he had the most experience on the line and brought the kind of toughness coaches value up front. He also battled a concussion late in that stretch, which adds some injury context to his profile. If your team wants a dependable, hard-nosed guard who won’t need the spotlight to make an impact, he fits the bill.
