a throwback Western Kentucky line anchor with a four-year-starter résumé
Derek Forster was a durable, trusted interior presence for Western Kentucky, and in the 2000 season the Hilltoppers specifically highlighted him as one of two returning four-year starters on the offensive line who helped key the run game. He was praised as a steady, experienced lineman who could move between guard and tackle spots, with early-career notes pointing to a strong high school background as a four-year starter and all-district standout. If you want reliability, toughness, and line continuity, he fits; if you want flashy stat-sheet fireworks, the offensive line isn’t built that way.
