The trio continued to push each other to be the best linemen they can be. “Brad has crazy tech- nique,” Dizon said. “He can maintain a block and hold it down. Ron is just a load. He’s a physical, tough player. When you need 2 yards, Ron is there.” The admiration is mutual. “Bryson, no matter where he plays, always locks down his guy,” Rose said. Now the trio is looking to enjoy their final year togeth- er at Western. “It feels like we just came here yesterday,” Dizon said. “We now this is our last year of guaranteed football, and you always want to leave on a good note.” WOU will have to recover from a heartbreaker.
