Overview
Overview
A two-time Sun Belt Conference pick, Dunbar was forced to leave Middle Tennessee State after his junior season due to family obligations, but is a prospect worthy of consideration. He lacks the foot quickness and balance to remain on the outside at the NFL level, but has the size, strength and tenacity to consider as a late-round right tackle or guard prospect.
