Versatile, high-effort Vanderbilt lineman with old-school toughness
Ashabranner’s Vanderbilt profile shows a scrappy, team-first lineman whose edge is versatility: he arrived as a defensive tackle, earned notice for effort and instincts, and was later moved around the offensive line as a depth piece. In the 2007 and 2008 Vanderbilt seasons, the staff credited him with adding bulk and improving quickness, which is the kind of grinder trait coaches love because it signals buy-in, toughness, and coachability rather than flash. If you need a dependable culture fit who can absorb coaching and fill gaps, he’s your guy.
