Veteran left tackle Markell Samuel brings proven size, experience, and pass-protection upside
Markell Samuel is a big, battle-tested offensive tackle with real starting experience after earning honorable-mention All-Sun Belt recognition in 2024 and helping Appalachian State allow just 15 sacks while ranking near the top of the league in passing offense. His best trait is versatility and growth: he began his college career on defense before developing into a durable tackle who can handle high snap counts, and scouting chatter points to solid pass protection with room to sharpen run blocking. If you need a reliable trench piece with late-blooming upside, he fits the profile.
