He has been a three-year starter in the front and has become a pivotal member.
Stromberg was a second team All-SEC selection by the Associated Press. Stromberg’s 74.8 overall offensive grade is the second-best on the Arkansas offensive line (Beaux Limmer – 76.0), and his 77.2 run block grade is the third-best among SEC centers, according to Pro Football Focus.
Stromberg is widely considered to be one of the better offensive linemen in the country with a professional future and will likely be on a lot of preseason list of honors next year.
He has started 31 of the 33 games he has played at Arkansas under three different offensive line coaches.
