UT Martin freshman OL Eric McNeil brings SEC-sized frame and a blue-collar foundation
Eric McNeil is a **6-foot-4, 320-pound freshman offensive lineman** from Memphis Central who redshirted in 2024 and arrives with a proven high-school pedigree, including a **Region 8-5A first-team offense** nod and a spot in the **AutoZone Liberty Bowl High School All-Star Game**.[6] The appeal is straightforward: he has the size to play early, the versatility to help in both pass protection and run blocking, and the upside that comes with a young lineman who has not yet taken college game snaps.[4][6] For a team needing developmental OL depth, he looks like a credible long-term project with real frame and physical tools.[6]
