SI ALL-AMERICAN EVALUATION

Christman is a guard, no ifs or buts about it, and that’s okay because Ohio State asks their guards to man up with three techniques and he will have no problems physically with those types of players. He’s a run block specialist and plays with a nasty demeanor.

JOHN GARCIA, SI ALL-AMERICAN, ON CHRISTMAN

Christman is built for close-quarters combat in the trenches with immense size, nasty O-lien mentality and true finishing power. He can hold his own if asked to get to the second level or kick-out with efficiency, but he flashes most dominant when compromising the defender lined up in front of him.
