veteran Syracuse anchor with proven run-game punch
A sixth-year, 6-foot-6, 323-pound interior OL, Christopher Bleich was Syracuse’s most established lineman, starting 32 games for the Orange and grading as a top performer in 2023 while helping power a 392-yard rushing day against Pitt. His calling card is length, veteran composure, and strong run-blocking, especially against man fronts; scouts also liked his quick hands off the snap and ability to work in space. The knock has been blitz recognition and occasional overextension, but he’s the kind of experienced, tone-setting guard who can steady a line fast.
