Veteran NIU lineman with proven toughness and run-game bite
Tyler Pitt has been a steady Northern Illinois offensive line piece, with NIU crediting him in 2014 for helping power a 252.9-yard rushing attack and protect the quarterback in a 442.5-yard-per-game offense. His biggest differentiators are toughness, versatility, and resilience: after multiple leg and knee injuries earlier in his career, he returned to start all 13 games in 2014 and earned multiple offensive lineman honors. If you value a road-grater who can stay composed, finish blocks, and bring veteran grit, Pitt is the kind of lineman who quietly changes games.
