The two bookend tackles provided stability and growth along the offensive line , offering optimism for the future.

Lomu excelled in pass protection, posting a 97.7 efficiency rating, which ranked 19th among Big 12 tackles. Over 425 pass-blocking snaps, he allowed just two sacks and 17 pressures, showcasing remarkable poise and technique for a young player.
