3) Sebastian Tretola
Experience: Senior
Height/Weight: 6-4/314 LBS
Projected Round: 3rd
Career Summary: 2015 Outland Trophy finalist; 2015 SEC Jacobs Award for conferences best offensive lineman; failed out of the University of Nevada for poor grades; allowed only .5 sacks in two seasons at Arkansas
Sebastian Tretola was the best offensive lineman on a very good offensive line at Arkansas. Tretola started his collegiate career at Nevada, where he flunked out of school due to poor grades. He then got another chance at Arkansas after attending junior college. While he once was viewed as immature with poor decision making off the field, it seems as if he has grown up emotionally in the past few years.
Tretola is built like a refrigerator, and plays like one too, as he is nearly impossible to move. He would be best suited in a very physical running system, as he is a great run blocker, and there are still questions about his pass blocking abilities.
For a man of his size, he actually has decent athletic ability and can block well in space, which could be a sign that he could thrive in the Kubiak system. He has good stamina and isn’t afraid of being ultra physical.
That being said, he needs to work on his footwork and pad level as he can get blown up off of the line when either of these is not in position. In Kubiak’s run-first system, Tretola could be a force to reckon with, even against NFL caliber talent.
