A common name has been circulating around social media for a short time about an underrated Michigan State football offensive lineman prospect for NFL teams.

Luke Newman has consistently risen up draft boards all around the country, with big name football analysts such as Eric Galko describing him as a “NFL combine snub” and Ryan Fowler touting him as an “under the radar name floating around”.

With all of the general conversations about Newman and his draft stock, it was recently revealed that Newman himself had been added to the Detroit Lions local Pro Day roster, according to Lions on SI.

Before his pre-draft activities, Newman began his college football career at Holy Cross after graduating from Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice High School. He became an All-American at Holy Cross, and after three seasons there, he entered the transfer portal.

The former Holy Cross offensive lineman generated a ton of attention in the portal as he was ranked a three-star. Newman had offers from schools like Vanderbilt and Michigan State, and eventually chose to play his senior year in East Lansing.

Newman’s senior year was special as he was constantly graded and viewed as one of the best players on the Spartans offensive line. After the season, he was invited to participate in the East-West Shrine Bowl, where we wowed with his footwork and technique.

Fast forward to today as the 6-foot-4, 315-pound lineman has been invited to test out at the Lions local Pro Day for local prospects around the area, at the Allen Park Performance Center. His experience of starting 49 straight game at the college level (37 at Holy Cross and 12 at MSU) has only generated more attention, as well as his honorable mention All-Big Ten selection from the coaches and media.

Currently projected as a Day 3 pick, Newman could rise up draft boards after a positive performance in Allen Park soon. How far, you may ask? That remains to be seen.
