OL Blake Brandel

Oregon State | Senior

Round 6, Pick 24

Brandel (pronounced bran-dull) was a four-year starter for the Beavers. The Oregon native was a two-time Class 6A all-state pick at Central Catholic High School in Milwaukie. After a redshirt year in Corvallis, Brandel stepped into that starting role -- the first three games he lined up at left tackle, then coaches moved him to right tackle for the final nine contests. He started all 12 games at left tackle as a sophomore, junior, and senior -- earning team captain status in 2019. Pac-12 coaches voted him second-team all-conference last fall, as well. - NFL.com
