Western Illinois OL Brandon De La Cruz brings veteran line experience and steady interior toughness
De La Cruz is a useful fit for teams that value **reliability, size, and interior line stability**: Western Illinois listed him as a center/OL who started all 12 games in 2014 and helped the offense average **72 more total yards per game** than the prior season, while his recruiting profile measured him at **6-3, 320**. That combination points to a player whose value is in doing the dirty work well—anchoring the middle, handling leverage, and keeping the offense on schedule rather than piling up flashy stats.[4][2]
