A team captain for a playoff team, Avila didn’t allow any sacks in 515 pass-blocking snaps last season while lining up at left guard.
Avila has bench pressed 225 pounds 28 times and run the 40-yard dash in 5.21 seconds.
Avila started nine games as a sophomore, six at center, two at right tackle and one at guard.
Avila combines power, strength, quickness, technique and versatility.
The Arlington native chose TCU over Kansas State and Utah.
