FAU’s seasoned blindside protector with real veteran juice
In the 2010 season, Samuel McRoy was FAU’s most experienced lineman, starting all 11 games at left tackle and earning third-team Phil Steele preseason All-Sun Belt recognition for the 2011 season[1]. His value is simple and sneaky-important: he brought stability, game reps, and versatility after having played both tackle and center, plus he’d already shown he could move bodies and even chip in tackles on defense in earlier seasons[1][6]. If you want a dependable, battle-tested tackle who understands the trench chess match and won’t blink under pressure, McRoy fits the “plug-and-play veteran” profile[1].
