Isaac Herring was a steady, battle-tested BYU blocker
In the 2002 season, Isaac Herring started all 12 games for BYU on the offensive line, bouncing between right tackle and right guard while helping protect a Cougars offense that averaged 260.8 passing yards per game and 121.1 rushing yards per game. He was known for reliability, strength, and versatility — he recorded a team-high 62-pound bench press and ranked second on the squad with a 626-pound squat, with a workmanlike style that coaches trust. If you want a tough, adaptable lineman with starter experience and no flash, Herring fit the bill.
