Justin Evans

Dean Kindig

Handled All-Big 12 defensive tackle Dontay Corleone vs Cincinnati quite well, preventing significant penetration in the run and pass games --big win. Then, vs UCLA, Evans directing blocking assignments and protections that kept true freshman quarterback TJ Lateef clean in the pocket. Vocal leader.

Ben Murawski

Dean Kindig

3rd Highest Run Blocking Grade Among OTs in 2025. Lettered two years in basketball. Inexperienced left guard with a lengthy injury history, but he's a tremendous athlete with the anchor, burst, range, and power. Jim Mora's offense uses a mix of run-pass concepts. The former JUCO product played 544 offensive snaps last year, making multiple starts at left tackle. Teets: "At 6'7", 335 lbs, Murawski is one of the largest guards in college football. He's also an athletic freak with rare explosive movement skills and sink in his hips for a player with his size and thickness. Murawski's anchor and powerful punches prevent rushers from winning through his frame, and his agility helps him mirror smaller players. Murawski's hand usage reflects his inexperience. His 355 offensive snaps in 2024 added to just the 62 he carried over from 2023. However, the knockback in his arm extensions and his snatch-trap suggest hand usage could become a strength in Murawski's game in the future. His arm length isn't the best but should be passable for a guard. Murawski rolls power through his hips in the run game and torques or twists defensive linemen out of gaps. He's quick enough to reach block and excels at combo blocking and climbing to the second level. His range in the run game makes him a dynamic blocker capable of performing in multiple schemes. Injuries have continuously held Murawski back. He has torn both of his labrums and suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2024. Hopefully, he finally gets the chance to put together a complete season.
