durable, high-level left tackle anchoring Rhode Island’s offense
Bethea is a proven FCS starter with a long runway of consistency: he has started every game since arriving at Rhode Island, earned Second Team All-CAA and All-New England honors in 2024, and helped power one of the most productive offenses in program history. His calling card is reliability in both run and pass protection, plus the versatility to play either tackle spot. For a team, he fits as a mature, ready-made line piece who brings size, technique, and stability rather than projection alone.
