Transferring Brawler Tackle Gaining Traction at Kent State
Rico Steele, a 6-4, 305-pound redshirt sophomore OL, transferred from Bowling Green to Kent State in April 2025, where he saw action in 8 games during the 2025 season after redshirting in 2024[1][4][6]. A Pittsburgh native and former all-conference high school standout at West Mifflin, he's a **big-bodied brawler** who reinvented his game in the offseason, showing grit and versatility from guard to tackle[10]. With no major injury history and rising reps on a rebuilding line, his physical intensity makes him a **plug-and-play fit** for teams needing tough, developmental MAC-level depth—worth watching for G5 elevation.[1][4][10]
