Massive Toledo tackle with proven All-MAC pedigree
In the 2002 season, Erik Faasen emerged as one of Toledo’s defining run-game enforcers, earning second-team All-MAC honors while anchoring an offensive line that helped the Rockets finish fifth nationally in total offense, 11th in scoring, and 16th in rushing. The big selling point is obvious: rare size, nastiness in the trenches, and the kind of steadiness coaches love on the edge. At 6-foot-8 and a reported 353 pounds in his Toledo years, he was the tallest and heaviest lineman in school history — a true “move-the-earth” tackle fit for a power run scheme.
