The preseason hype wagon for the Toledo Rockets shows no signs of slowing down. Especially as another Rocket gets added to a national award’s watch list. This most recent addition is senior offensive lineman Elijah Nkansah.
Nkansah, a 6-6, 315-pound left tackle, is the leader of an offensive line that that allowed just 14 sacks in 2016, which ranked 11th in the country and third in the MAC. Toledo's offense led the MAC in total offense (517.8) and passing offense (322.8) last season, and ranked seventh in nation in total offense and 10th in passing offense.
