I didn't see this posted here yet, and I thought some may find this interesting. My friend is a Missouri Tigers fan, and he is a member of the Missouri Rivals site.


Former Missouri DE Brad Madison did a Q&A for an article on there, and he was asked who he thought was the best lineman that he had faced.


He answered with "hard to narrow it down to just one. Kelechi Osemele from Iowa State. He plays for the Ravens currently. The dude was a monster. I believe he had some injuries his senior season, so he was not quite as effective that year."


Take it for what it's worth, but I thought that was kind of cool.

cool comments indeed. But I didn't need a Mizzou D Lineman to tell me KO was and still is a BEAST. I have met him several times and he looks as intimidating in person as on TV. Very nice guy though.

He was a great beer pong player his freshman year as well. You would've expected him to shoot like Shaq at the free throw line, but that wasn't the case.

Buddy of my coached Brad in high school (Head basketball, assistant football). So I have met Brad a couple of times super nice guy. Really has nothing to do with this, but hey I wanted to name drop!

KO being hurt his senior year really kept that team from being as good as it should have been. I have to give him credit for toughing it out, but I am sure he was no where near as dominate as he could have been. He must have been helped off the field 3-4 times against Iowa that year.
