Texas A&M offensive tackle had a monster Week One

Texas A&M offensive tackle Kenyon Green dominated in Texas A&M’s 41-10 victory per Pro Football Focus.

Green earned an overall grade of 89.5 and a run block grade of 86.1, both career highs for Green’s career thus far. In 38 total snaps, Green allowed zero quarterback pressures.

Despite Green’s dominance, Texas A&M’s offense struggled at times against Kent St. After scoring on their first two drives of the game, the Aggies turned the ball over on their next three drives, entering halftime leading just 10-3.

The Aggies took off in the second half, scoring 31 points in the last two quarters of the game. The Aggies finished for 595 total yards. Behind Kenyon Green and the Texas A&M offensive line, the Aggies rushed for over 300 yards. Running back Devon Achane had 124 rushing yards and two touchdowns while third-year back Isaiah Spiller had 113 rushing yards.

Texas A&M’s defense was dominant in the season opener, picking up where it left off last season. The Aggies allowed just 336 yards; the Aggies ranked No. 1 in the SEC last year in yards allowed with 317.3 per game.

Kenyon Green is expected to be a first-round draft pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and is listed as one of the top offensive linemen picked in the draft. Green has started all 25 games he has been available for in his collegiate career. Last season, Green was a consensus All-American, was named a finalist for the Joe Moore Award and earned team Offensive MVP. As a freshman in 2019, Green was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team.

Kenyon Green and the Texas A&M Aggies will head to Colorado on Saturday.
