Austin Blaske Back in Starting Role at Center for North Carolina

Posted Nov 6, 2025
When Austin Blaske entered the transfer portal in 2024, most teams saw an offensive tackle. Blaske wanted to play inside — specifically, at center. He'd been told that was his best path to the NFL. During his three years at Georgia, Blaske played guard, center, and tackle. It wasn't until both centers on the scout team got hurt that he volunteered to snap. (TarHeel247)
