Miami (OH) Guard with Elite Run-Game Intensity and 47 Career Starts
Sam McCollum stands out as a high-intensity offensive lineman for Miami (OH) with 47 career starts, including a full 12-game season in 2018 that fueled a run game averaging 159.8 yards per game. His differentiator is not just durability but an aggressive, personality-driven approach to protecting the backfield, evidenced by only 20 sacks allowed in a season where the team averaged 136.3 yards per game. Unlike many peers who rely solely on size, McCollum brings a union-rep-level intensity and leadership to the trenches, making him a perfect fit for teams needing a reliable, battle-tested guard who elevates the entire offense's performance without injury concerns.
