Southern Illinois tackle Blake Brunner brings size-first upside and trench toughness
Blake Brunner is an interior-line prospect at Southern Illinois whose appeal is the classic one: sturdy frame, position flexibility, and the kind of trench attitude coaches love because it travels well. I couldn’t verify enough current season-by-season stat leaders or fresh public scouting notes to responsibly claim a breakout or ranking jump, so the safest read is that he profiles as a development-friendly lineman whose value comes from leverage, physicality, and reliability more than flashy numbers. If your team wants a nasty, coachable blocker with room to grow, he’s the kind of fit worth a real look.
