USC’s durable, veteran road-grader at tackle
Kevin Graf was a steady, high-floor USC offensive tackle who brought experience, strength, and toughness to the Trojans; in 2013, USC listed him with 25 career starts and noted he had started all of 2011 at right tackle, then continued as a regular starter in 2012 and 2013. His biggest differentiators were reliability and physicality rather than flash: he was known as a long-time starter, was named USC’s Co-Lifter of the Year in 2012, and came from a USC football family, which added to his football IQ and program fit. If you want a dependable tackle who sets the tone, Graf was your guy.
