the old-school Spartan mauler who set the tone up front
In the 2011 season, Joel Foreman was a 6-foot-4, 315-pound senior left guard for Michigan State and a team captain, with a reputation as a technically polished, powerful run blocker who could move people at the point of attack.[1][6][12] He had already piled up major experience, including 36 career starts and Freshman All-American honors, and was widely viewed as one of the Big Ten’s top interior linemen; the big differentiator was his blend of strength, intelligence, and nasty finishing attitude, plus a leadership profile that teammates and coaches trusted.[6][8][15]
