The Boston College Eagles have a recent history of putting rough-n-tumble offensive linemen into the draft; Doug Brezizinski, Paul Zukauskas and Marc Colombo are just a few names on this list. Dan Koppen would be next.

Full Name: Dan Koppen    School: Boston College

Ht:6-2.5  Wt:300   40:5.40

Year 5Sr    Number 77

Stats/ Bio:  

2001: Started all 11 games plus the Music City Bowl.  Named second team All-BIG EAST and on the watch list for the Dave Remmington Award.

2000:  Second-team All-BIG EAST pick after starting 11 games at center.

Scouting Report:

The Good:  Tough, nasty lineman that works hard on the pivot.  Quick off the snap into his blocks, powerful upper body and turns defenders out of the middle for the run as well as anchoring in pass protection.  Fights with his hands, keeps his feet moving throughout the play and works to finish off opponents, staying with the action.  Efficient and plays with balance.  

The Bad: Not a nimble or agile lineman nor overly effective in space.  Lacks bulk and the dominant base.  

The Skinny:  Needs time but could eventually develop into a starter at the next level and his work ethic gives him a major advantage.
