Dean Kindig

No. 1-rated guard in the country on Pro Football Focus (minimum 100 snaps played) with an 82.1 mark.. Played in 11 games as a reserve offensive lineman, especially snaps after star G Luke Kandra went down. Helped a Cincinnati offense that ranked sixth in the Big 12 in total offense (420.6) and paved the way for running back Corey Kiner to rush for a second consecutive 1,000-yard season. Cincinnati finished sixth in the Big 12 in total offense. On3: "Impressive looking offensive line prospect who shocks defenders with the power in his hands and buries them with no regard for their well-being. Stands in at 6-foot-4.5, 285 pounds with a 6-foot-8 wingspan and nearly a 10-inch hand. Solid foot speed and twitch off the line of scrimmage. Comfortable in open space. Ran a solid 4.63 shuttle and jumped a 22-inch vertical during the spring camp circuit prior to his senior season. Combination of punch and understanding of leverage is a vicious combo. Threw 128-foot-8 in the discus as a junior. Dominant wrestler throughout his high school career going a combined 26-6 including an undefeated 10-0 record as a junior. Has the chance to walk in and start along the interior offensive line for almost any program in the country and potentially kick out to tackle down the road."
