Carter Smith

Dean Kindig

Best pass blocking grade after not allowing any Iowa pressures in scouted win. Trusting the Process started playing tackle in third grade, and joined a travel squad in middle school. Some balance and lean issues Kromer can fix. Favorite song is from Footloose: Holding Out For a Hero by Bonnie Tyler. Sparks: "one of the most reliable trench players in the class, even with some length questions that will need answering.".

Graded at 75.4 in pass blocking, per PFF, the best grade among qualifying Stanford offensive linemen, which ranks fourth among starting left tackles in the ACC, and the Bills just drafted the ACC's 4th LT at #102: Jude Bowry.
