Cornell’s veteran trench piece with old-school grit
Andy Balough’s Cornell profile shows a player with real program longevity, appearing on the Big Red roster from the 1999 and 2000 seasons and contributing in the 2001 season as well, which usually signals trust, toughness, and consistency up front. He’s listed as a 6-foot-1, 219-pound lineman/defensive lineman, and that compact build suggests a leverage-and-effort blocker rather than a flashy measurables guy. The big question for any team is fit: if you want a dependable, physical lineman who understands the assignment and brings veteran edge, Balough is the kind of name coaches tend to like.
