BOCA RATON — Already one of the top offensive linemen in Florida Atlantic’s short history, Reggie Bain has faced plenty of elite pass rushers in his four seasons.
But going up against Old Dominion redshirt senior defensive end Oshane Ximines, who has grown into one of the country’s top defensive linemen, is a different test.
“I’ve seen him throw offensive tackles down like they are running backs,” said Bain, a two-time All-Conference USA offensive tackle “We’re definitely going to be keyed in on him and prepared.”
Though FAU has faced two Top 20 teams this season in Oklahoma and UCF, neither had the dominant force in the trenches that Ximines has become.
