The line got some love.
In a rare move, Central Washington University bucked the football gods, handing out its Offensive Player of the Game award this week not to a quarterback, running back, or receiver, but to the dude holding the line together.
And that man-mountain making the heavens and the Earth tremble, leaving rivals lying in crumpled piles across the field is Coupeville’s own Nick Streubel.
The red-shirt senior was tabbed for the honor for his play Saturday against Western Oregon.
The official, Twitter-approved announcement:
Nick Streubel continues to be dominant at the line of scrimmage opening up running lanes for the RB’s.
A leader on the Offensive Line, the Offensive unit and the team as a whole.
Congrats on being named Offensive Player of the Game!
“The Big Hurt” is wrapping up a stellar gridiron career at CWU, during which time he’s been named an All-League and All-Region pick.
Back in his Coupeville days, Streubel was a three-sport standout, playing football, basketball and track and field.
