Melvin Puckett brings SEC-sized build and immediate depth to Bethune-Cookman’s O-line
In the 2025 season, Melvin Puckett is listed by Bethune-Cookman as a 6-foot-3, 310-pound sophomore offensive lineman, and his value is easy to spot: big frame, interior power, and the kind of mass that helps stabilize a line[1][2]. He played in 10 games in his Bethune-Cookman run before later moving on, which suggests he was trusted enough to see the field and be part of the rotation rather than just collecting roster dust[4]. His appeal is straightforward for a team that wants toughness up front—he looks like a durable, plug-and-play developmental lineman with enough size to compete in the trenches[1][6].
