Houston Cougars' Stalwart Left Tackle Anchor from 2014 Glory Days
Travis Cross, a towering 6-6, 270-pound 3-star OT from Plano West (247Sports rating 86), started 12 of 13 games at left tackle for the Houston Cougars in 2014, powering a dominant 28 PPG rushing attack that fueled their AAC contention; his pancake-blocking prowess and high-motor reliability made him a cornerstone, though now likely in post-football pursuits like law (UH Law 1L alum), he's a proven NFL pipeline fit for teams needing gritty, experienced edge protection with zero injury red flags.
