Early life and high school

Throckmorton grew up in Bellevue, Washington and attended Newport High School, where he played both offensive and defensive line for the football team.[1] He was rated a three-star prospect by Rivals, 247Sports, Scout and ESPN and committed to play college football at Oregon over offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Boise State, Michigan and Miami.[2]

College career

Throckmorton redshirted his true freshman season. He started all 12 of Oregon's games the following year and was named honorable mention All-Pac-12 Conference.[3][4] He started the first ten games of his redshirt sophomore season at right tackle before moving to right guard for the final three games of the year and was again named honorable mention All-Pac-12.[5][6] As a redshirt junior, Throckmorton was the only FBS player to make a start at four different offensive line positions (right tackle, left tackle, right guard and center) and also played snaps at left guard.[7] He was graded the fourth-best offensive tackle in college football by Pro Football Focus (PFF) and was named a second team All-American by the FWAA, Phil Steele, and PFF as well as first team All-Pac-12 by the Associated Press and honorable mention All-conference by the league's coaches.[8][9]

Throckmorton entered his redshirt senior season on the watchlist for the Outland Trophy and was named a preseason All-American by the Associated Press and PFF.[10][11] He was also named the fifth-best offensive line prospect for the 2020 NFL Draft by USA Today.[12] Throckmorton was named honorable mention All-Pac-12 and a third team All-American by the Associated Press, as well as a second team Academic All-American, at the end of the season.[13][14]
