With the NFL draft set to start April 23, the University Press sports staff will profile some of the FAU football players eligible. We’ve already looked at tight end Harrison Bryant and cornerback James Pierre; today we’ll look at one of the big guys up front, Junior Diaz.
Since transferring to FAU from Tulane University in the spring of 2018, Diaz has been a mainstay at the center position on the offensive line for the Owls. He started all 26 games during his FAU career.
Diaz headed into the 2019 season on the Rimington Award watch list, which is awarded to the nation’s best collegiate center.
