Senior Texas football OL Derek Kerstetter was graded as the highest returning Power-5 pass blocker, something we hope translates to 2020.

Pro Football Focus, an analytical website that dives deep under the surface of what the average fan can see, has rated rising senior Texas football OL Derek Kerstetter as the top returning Power-5 offensive linemen when it comes to pass blocking. Kerstetter received a grade of 91.6, 0.5 points higher than Oregon’s Penei Sewell who is an expected top-ten pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Kerstetter, a true senior, has appeared in 37 games with 28 starts over his three seasons on the Forty Acres.
