Winners

OG Isaac Asiata, Utah

Former Utah Utes offensive guard Isaac Asiata turned heads at the NFL Combine as one of the better lineman there. Asiata bench pressed 225 pounds a combine-high 35 reps along with former Auburn defensive end Carl Lawson.

Asiata was a four-year starter while at Utah, starting in 43 games. He started 39-straight games before his career ended. He was a second team All-Pac 12 selection last season. The 6-foot-3, 323-pound lineman won the Pac-12’s Morris Award, an award voted on by the conference’s starting defensive linemen.

Asiata was expected to turn heads in this year’s Senior Bowl. But he left early with a hamstring injury. At the combine, he really wowed with his strength and agility in drills.
