Daniel Brunskill

TE, OT · San Diego State
Brunskill played offensive center at Valley Center High and had limited options to continue his football career. He decided to enroll at San Diego State and walk on to the football team, redshirting in 2012. Brunskill moved to tight end prior to the 2013 season and played mostly special teams as a redshirt freshman. He started four games as a sophomore and posted five catches for 31 yards and his first career touchdown. Brunskill started all 14 games at tight end as a junior and set career-bests with 10 receptions for 112 yards and two scores, earning All-MWC Honorable Mention honors. The summer prior to the 2016 season, he transitioned back to the offensive line and started all 14 games at right tackle as a senior, earning Second Team All-MWC honors. A one-year starter at offensive tackle, Brunskill made the move from tight end to right tackle as a senior, but spent most of his career as a blocking tight end in a three-point stance, basically an extra offensive lineman, so he didn't look like a fish out of water at his new position in 2016. Brunskill needs to continue and fill out his frame, but how much bulk can he add to his upper and lower body? He needs to continue and develop his functional strength and mechanics, but there is no doubt about his instigating style as a tenacious blocker, always keeping busy. Brunskill is an intriguing developmental tackle, who can serve as a goal line blocker/receiver until ready for NFL reps on the offensive line.
