Big-frame Air Force lineman with classic service-academy upside
Neal Bess is a 6-foot-2, 255-pound Air Force offensive lineman whose profile suggests toughness, leverage, and scheme fit in a run-heavy Falcons system rather than flashy counting stats. Recruiting and roster data list him as an athlete/OL, which often points to versatility and coachability—traits valued at Air Force, where line play is built on discipline, physicality, and execution. There isn’t enough public stat production to call him a proven star yet, but if you want a developmental blocker with a compact frame and military-academy mentality, Bess is the kind of fit that can quietly matter.
