Former KU captain and relentless interior lineman with a reputation for toughness
In the 2010 season, Sal Capra was a senior offensive lineman for Kansas and a team captain, valued more for dependability, courage, and physicality than flash. He earned KU’s Gale Sayers Award as the most courageous player in 2009, and reports from KU coverage highlighted his ability to cover a lot of ground on screens—an underrated trait that matters for zone looks and mobile-run concepts. The big takeaway: he profiles as a tough, coach-trustable lineman who brings edge, leadership, and gritty consistency, not just size.
