Houston’s steady, veteran swing tackle with SEC scars and Big 12 value
Cedric Melton is a veteran Houston offensive lineman who brings size, experience, and versatility at tackle, with 2025 action that included 111 total snaps and a season-high 70 at right tackle against Colorado[1]. In 2024, he appeared in Houston’s first nine games before an injury, and that combination of SEC background at Ole Miss plus reliable depth value makes him more than just a warm body on the roster[1][2]. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a tough, battle-tested line piece who can step in without blinking when the depth chart gets spicy[1][2].
