MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – This spring has been filled with unknowns for Middle Tennessee on its offensive line.
The Blue Raiders are tasked with replacing four linemen that racked up 167 combined games played and 98 starts over the past four years.
In the middle of those four big bodies was center Daniel Stephens. The 2016 All-Conference USA Second Team member was one of those prototypical student-athletes whose four years of eligibility felt like eight. He started 31-straight contests to end his career with 38 in 46 games played while growing into the leader along the offensive line over the past two seasons.
