Prairie View's Towering Tackle with Pro-Level Power
Cleveland Sims Jr., a 6'4", 290-lb offensive tackle for the Prairie View A&M Panthers, flashed early promise in 2015 by anchoring the line in his lone start, fueling a 483-yard, 7-TD explosion vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff. His rare athleticism for the position—5.5-second 40-yard dash, 20-inch vertical, 290-lb bench, and 350-lb squat—sets him apart as a mauler with surprising mobility, ideal for zone-blocking schemes. Post-2016, he's flown under the radar, but his raw strength and HBCU grit make him a developmental gem for teams seeking affordable, high-upside linemen without the D1 hype.
