Pat McMurtrie is JMU’s proven right tackle anchor and one of the Sun Belt’s top pass protectors
McMurtrie entered 2025 as a preseason First Team All-Sun Belt selection and Outland Trophy Watch List lineman after starting all 13 games at right tackle in 2024, when he did not allow a sack and was the Sun Belt’s top-rated tackle. JMU’s staff credits him with helping power a rushing attack and offense that ranked among the nation’s best, and his two-year track record shows durability, consistency, and high-level pass protection. He’s a strong fit for teams that want a polished, physical veteran who stabilizes the edge and elevates an offense without needing the spotlight.
