veteran Illinois State guard who brought toughness, durability, and playoff pedigree
Kyle Avaloy was a three-year starter at left guard for Illinois State and appeared in 44 games from 2013-16, earning second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference honors in 2015 and helping the Redbirds reach the FCS playoffs in each of his final three seasons, including the 2014 national title game run. He also had NFL rookie minicamp looks and later played arena football, which speaks to his leverage, competitiveness, and pro-level edge. If you want an interior lineman with toughness, experience, and a proven winning background, he’s the kind of player coaches remember.
