#4 Max Scharping, Northern Illinois (OT)
This dude has been a model of consistency for the NIU program, being named a Freshman All-American as the only player from the MAC to do so and making the All-conference team each season.
Trending
Risner has prototype size at 6’6’’, 320 pounds and allowed a minimal 11 QB pressures over his last two seasons. Scharping gobbles up defensive linemen as a run-blocker, as he keeps their chest close to him and repositions his feet as the play progresses. And he is so damn solid in protection.
Scharping opens up his hips rather early, but always stays head-up with his rusher and is extremely patient with his arms. Compared to the other guys on this list Scharping doesn’t have to deal with quite the same competition, but he hasn’t surrendered a sack since their bowl game versus Boise State in 2015.
