Jarien Moreland brings veteran size and trench toughness to Southern Illinois
Jarien Moreland is a big-bodied, experienced offensive lineman at Southern Illinois, listed at 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds, with a background that includes stops at UCF and Florida A&M before becoming a starter for the Salukis. His value is less about flashy stats and more about reliability: in his final SIU season, he started the last 10 games and helped an offensive line that allowed just 14 sacks, the fewest in the MVFC. He also came out of high school as a nationally ranked lineman, which fits the profile of a road-grading, no-nonsense trench piece a team can trust.
