Jake Brendel
OG, C
· UCLA
UCLA's all-time leader in career starts (52), Jacob "Jake" Brendel has been a fixture at center since he won the starting job as a redshirt freshman in 2012. And aside from one game in 2014 (nursed a minor knee injury), he started every game for the Bruins since 2012, earning team captain status as a sophomore, junior and senior.
brendel, who was named second team all-pac 12 the last two seasons, is highly intelligent on and off the field (named to ucla's honor roll nine different semesters) with the set-up and hand quickness to occupy defenders off the snap. however, his lean lower body and lack of brute power also stand out, leaving him off-balance or grabbing jersey, which will attract penalties. he doesn't have the hand strength to reset or control the line of scrimmage, often forgetting his feet and giving ground. while his smarts and reliability are appealing, brendel will struggle to match up physically with what nfl interior defensive linemen will throw at him.
