Mike Otto brings rare left-tackle consistency and pass-protection polish
In the 2003-2006 Purdue seasons, Mike Otto was a tone-setter at left tackle, starting every game he played and finishing with a school-record 50 career starts, which is the kind of reliability coaches quietly love and defenses hate.[12] Evaluators praised his quick set off the snap and ability to stay square in pass protection, making him a strong fit for an offense that wants dependable edge protection and a steady, high-motor tackle rather than a flashy mauler.[5][12]
