Missouri’s academic-minded, special-teams-first DL with blue-collar edge
Steven Blair’s Missouri profile points to a walk-on defensive lineman who carved out value through toughness, versatility, and special-teams reliability rather than flashy box-score stats. In his 2007 season, Missouri listed him as a 6-foot-3, 235-pound senior DL/long snapper, and the Tigers noted he handled snapping duties for punts and placekicks while earning Academic All-Big 12 and Academic All-District recognition. The fit says “dependable glue guy”: high effort, coachable, and built for the gritty jobs that keep a defense on schedule.
