The Iowa Hawkeyes continue to churn out massive offensive lineman and Bryan Bulaga is no exception. Recently named to the Second Team All-American for both the AP and Walter Camp lists.
Bulaga has prototypical size to play either tackle position but it’s his intangibles that make him an elite prospect and not project. Playing in the lunch pail, grind it out style of the Big Ten he’s a heady, driven, full of piss and vinegar type of bookend that will keep his quarterbacks’ jersey clean for 10 years.
A proven recipe for success is building from the inside-out which starts with the trenches. Quick, name an offensive skill player for the Iowa Hawkeyes this year. It’s difficult. Bulaga and his 2010 highly regarded OT prospect Hawkeye teammate and fellow Illinois native, Kyle Calloway, were the two primary reasons Iowa stayed under the radar this season.
The fact is nobody pays much attention to the big fellas opening up lanes and protecting their quarterback in college football. But then again nobody predicted Iowa to finish the regular season ranked #10 either.
