A team captain for a playoff team, Avila didn’t allow any sacks in 515 pass-blocking snaps last season while lining up at left guard.

Avila has bench pressed 225 pounds 28 times and run the 40-yard dash in 5.21 seconds.

Avila started nine games as a sophomore, six at center, two at right tackle and one at guard.

Avila combines power, strength, quickness, technique and versatility.

The Arlington native chose TCU over Kansas State and Utah.
