College

Spencer Joseph Drango (born October 15, 1992) is an American football guard for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL). He played college for Baylor. A freshman All-American in 2012, Drango is considered one of the best offensive tackles in his class.[1]

High school career

A native of Cedar Park, Texas, Drango attended Cedar Park High School, where he was an All-State offensive lineman. As senior, he registered 144 knockdowns while not allowing a sack, helping Cedar Park to a 13–1 record and UIL quarterfinals, where they lost 21–20 to Michael Brewer's Austin Lake Travis.[2]

Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Drango was listed as the No. 23 offensive tackle prospect in 2011.[3] He picked Baylor over offers from Arkansas, Louisiana State, Stanford, and Texas.

College career

After redshirting his initial year at Baylor, Drango took over from Cyril Richardson as starting left tackle for the Bears in 2012. He started all 13 games and was named Freshman All-American by Scout/FoxSports (first team) and Phil Steele (second team).

Midway through his sophomore season, Drango had back surgery for a ruptured disk, but Baylor athletic trainer Jacob Puente revived him so he could play football once again.[4][5]

In his senior year, Drango had the highest pass-blocking efficiency in college football according to Pro Football Focus. He allowed only three quarterback hurries, and just a single QB hit—against Oklahoma State defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah—all season, giving him a nation-leading 99.2 pass blocking efficiency.[6]
