Shrine Bowl Interview: Kadeem Telfort’s Development On-And-Off The Field Make Him An Intriguing Offensive Tackle Prospect

One of the most intriguing players at the 2023 East-West Shrine Bowl is UAB offensive tackle Kadeem Telfort. Telfort is a massive human, as he measured at at 6’7, 319 pounds. Not only that, but Telfort has 37-inch arms and a wingspan well over eight feet. For reference, NFL teams consider 34-inch arms to be a good size. He was the anchor of an offensive line at UAB that ran for 253.3 yards per game and had the nation’s leading rusher in DeWayne McBride all while playing under an interim head coach. I had the chance to speak with Telfort today at the Luxor Hotel about his journey to get to where he is today.
