Royce Newman was a four-star recruit when he signed with the Rebels. And after a redshirt season he never skipped a beat while in Oxford. He started at left guard early in his career but eventually moved to right tackle, flexing his versatility up front.
The Nashville, Ill. native played in nine games during his redshirt freshman season and 12 the following year. Then, as a senior, he stayed at tackle and played in all 10 games. Newman is a guy who has been there done that in the SEC and can be someone who can contribute immediately wherever he goes.
