Coach says: “Dekker will be a 3 year starting offensive lineman having played both Center and Offensive Tackle over the past 2 season. Dekker is very coachable, asks great questions and has been a leader in the weight room over the off-season. His agility and footwork have improved tremendously over the past 2 seasons which will allow us to be more versatile in our run schemes this season. As one of our biggest lineman, Dekker will also be asked to play more on the defensive side of the ball this season where he filled in nicely when needed last season.
