Veteran Cal Poly tackle with real run-game heft
Mike Freeman is a 2013 Cal Poly offensive lineman who, in 2012, had started six of the Mustangs’ first seven games at right tackle before a fractured leg ended his run; the return note was that he was a likely starter if fully recovered, which tells you the essential story: size, experience, and starter-level value when healthy.[1][6] His differentiators are old-school tackle traits—reliable edge protection, functional strength in a run-first system, and enough proven trust from the staff to be penciled in as a key piece rather than just another body.[1][11] For a team looking for toughness and rotational stability up front, he fits; the only real flag is the injury history, which is the kind that can quietly change a depth chart in a hurry.[1][6]
