veteran Spartan interior blocker and tone-setter up front
Pardue brings veteran size and interior-line steadiness to San Jose State, with the Spartans noting he was used mainly on special teams and as a reserve guard early in his career and later highlighting him as a 317-pound center in the 2023 season[1][5]. He also earned two-time All-Southwestern League honors in high school, and reports from inside the program describe him as part of a tight-knit, communication-heavy offensive line group that values chemistry and physicality[1][6]. For a team, that profile screams dependable, low-drama trench presence rather than flashy stats.
