The Big Ten announced its decision Tuesday to postpone fall sports. Minutes after, the Pac-12 made the decision to postpone its season as well.
With two of the Power Five conferences not playing, the entire college football season is now up in the air. The SEC, ACC and Big 12 still have plans to have their conference-only seasons, but there are a number of players, coaches and teams that college football fans will miss watching dearly.
The No. 2 player we will miss watching most this year from the Big Ten and Pac-12 is Oregon junior left tackle Penei Sewell.
Sewell, who stands at 6-foot-6, 330 pounds, has great size, power and quickness for the left tackle position. He fires quick out of his stance in the passing game and stays square to his opponent. He does a great job with his hands, locking and steering edge rushers away.
In the run game, Sewell gets low and underneath his defenders, moving them well off the line of scrimmage. He also does an excellent job when he is pulling or finding the next man at the second or third level.
Sewell had a historic sophomore season for the Ducks. He finished the year as the top-graded offensive lineman in PFF history (since 2014), allowed only one sack over 1,376 snaps the last two seasons and helped Oregon to a 17-3 record when he’s in the starting lineup. Sewell was the recipient of the 2019 Outland Trophy, awarded annually to the best interior lineman in college football, and was named the AP Pac-12 Co-Offensive Player of the Year, PFF Pac-12 Player of the Year as well as a Unanimous first-team All-American.
Sewell is regarded as the No. 1 overall offensive lineman for the 2021 NFL Draft.
