Tulane's Rock-Solid Center with Elite Run-Blocking Pedigree
Joe Traina, Tulane's 6-5, 255-pound offensive lineman from Miami, FL, dominated as a starter in the 2004 season, grading out at 81% across 700 plays with 14 knockdown blocks and standout games against TCU, UAB, Army, and Florida A&M—showcasing his power, technique, and reliability in high-stakes matchups. His size, commitment to the Green Wave, and proven pancake ability make him a differentiator for run-heavy schemes, with no noted injury history signaling consistent intensity and toughness. A smart, physical fit for teams needing interior line anchors who elevate the ground game.
