UC Davis’ durable anchor with all-conference pedigree
In the 2009 season, Tommy Hernandez was a centerpiece for UC Davis, starting all 12 games at center and earning Sports Network All-America Third Team and All-Great West Conference First Team honors[1][2]. The big differentiator here is reliability: he had 23 straight career starts by that point and was described as a team captain and a steady offensive-line leader[1][5]. If you want a physical, high-floor interior lineman who brings continuity, toughness, and leadership, Hernandez looks like a very strong fit[1][10].
