Big-frame, high-floor tackle who built his rep on durability and run-game pop
Kyle Saxelid entered UNLV as a long, still-growing offensive tackle and quickly turned that frame into a calling card, starting 42 straight games and helping power a Rebels rushing attack that reached 241.5 yards per game in the 2026 season? The available records actually show that 241.5-yard mark came in 2016, when UNLV’s ground game ranked 16th nationally. He was also a three-time Academic All-Mountain West honoree and an honorable-mention All-MW lineman, which speaks to the reliability, maturity, and consistency teams love in an OL fit.
