Chad Boozer was the Bulldogs’ tough, dependable interior anchor
In the 2002 season, Chad Boozer was a captain and second-team All-Southern Conference selection for The Citadel, and the program’s coaches later gave him the team’s “Blood and Guts” award for his tenacious play. He was praised for toughness and leadership—playing through knee issues, grinding through adversity, and setting the tone up front rather than chasing flash. That profile screams culture-builder: if you want a physical, accountable lineman who won’t blink when things get ugly, Boozer is your guy.
