Kory!!

Kory Lichtensteiger was drafted in the fourth round by the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Congratulations to him. I'm just thrilled. Denver has a tradition of outstanding offensive linemen, and I think Kory has as good a chance to develop there as he would anywhere. He was the third center and the 109th pick overall. After a couple years of watching Falcon players fall lower than we hoped, it was great to be surprised to see him pop up in the fourth.

First, the official Denver Broncos write up.

One of the most fundamentally sound trap blockers in college football

Ryan at The Blade has a report on how Kory and the UT draftees spent their draft day. Hint: Kory played corn hole and did not watch on TV. Kory also shared some insight on the Broncos...

"Their offensive line play pretty much matches up with BG's zone blocking scheme and cut blocking," Lichtensteiger said. "I was a little nervous about adjusting to the NFL if the team discouraged [cut blocking]."

Finally, the official BGSU release, which reminds us that being a fourth rounder is significant for our program.

Lichtensteiger is also the highest BGSU draft pick since Charlie Williams was taken by Dallas in the third round of the 1994 draft.
