Dion Small anchors Troy’s offensive front with proven toughness
Dion Small’s case is built on dependable, high-floor trench play: in the 2007 season, he started all 12 games at right tackle, logged 980 snaps, led Troy with 59 knockdown blocks, earned All-Sun Belt honors, and allowed just half a sack. That kind of production screams steady, physical, assignment-sound football—exactly the sort of lineman coaches trust when they want the run game to look nasty and the pocket to stay clean. If you need a battle-tested OL who wins with consistency and grit, he’s a fit.
