Syracuse's 'Gentle Giant' RT Turned Pro Free Agent
Jamar McGloster, the 6'6", 319-lb Syracuse offensive tackle, started 24 straight games at right tackle from 2016-17, anchoring the line as a reliable pass protector and run blocker during his Orange career. Nicknamed the 'Gentle Giant' for his off-field demeanor contrasting his on-field intensity, he transitioned seamlessly to the CFL with Ottawa REDBLACKS (5 games in 2021) and Montreal Alouettes before becoming a free agent on Feb 2, 2026. His size, experience (30 college games), and pro polish make him a low-risk, high-upside fit for NFL teams seeking veteran depth—battle-tested without injury red flags.
