Cedric Melton brings size-and-versatility depth to Houston’s offensive line
Melton is a veteran Houston offensive lineman whose value is in dependable depth and positional flexibility, with the Cougars using him at right tackle in 2025 and giving him 111 total snaps across four games, including a season-high 70 snaps against Colorado.[3] A former Klein Cain standout who earned all-district honors in high school, he profiles as a steady, developmental line piece rather than a flashy stat producer, which is exactly the kind of player teams like to have when they need maturity, readiness, and tackle depth.[2][6]
