Joe Metzger is a reliable, battle-tested Holy Cross offensive lineman with proven run-game toughness and pass protection consistency
Metzger stands out as a versatile, physical interior/outside lineman who already proved he can start in pressure spots, logging eight starts in 2024 at left guard and left tackle while helping Holy Cross allow just 1.08 sacks per game, best in the Patriot League and 11th nationally. Holy Cross also noted he was part of a line that powered a 27.6-point-per-game offense in 2024, and his high-school scouting report praised his explosive feet, trustworthy pass blocking, and physical run blocking. He looks like a strong fit for a team that values toughness, flexibility, and experience up front.[5][7]
