Overview
Versatile interior lineman with starting experience at center and left guard. While Lichtensteiger lacks elite size and athleticism, he makes up for it with intelligence, technique and effort.
A four-year starter, Lichtensteiger makes all of the line calls and was voted a team captain his junior and senior seasons. He recognizes the blitz well and reacts accordingly, showing good anticipation and toughness. He has good initial quickness and kick slide while in pass protection and flashes an effective hand punch. He isn't a great athlete, however, and can be beaten with quickness. He lacks the size many teams prefer inside, and will struggle some with massive defensive tackles.
In the running game Lichtensteiger is more of a turn-and-anchor blocker rather than a pure drive blocker. He shows good agility as a trap and pull blocker and can hit the moving target.
Of some concern is that Bowling Green plays predominately in a shotgun formation. Lichtensteiger is among the nation's most reliable shotgun snappers, but may need some refining on the regular snap exchange due to his relative lack of experience at this level.
Lichtensteiger won't wow anyone with his ability, but his scrappy play and versatility gives him enough value for a second day selection.
