Christian earned first-team, all-district honors following both his sophomore and juniors seasons at Port Neches-Groves, a Class 5A Division II powerhouse that won a state championship last season. A dominant run blocker for a high school offense that leans on the ground game, Christian has played both tackle and guard at PNG but projects as an interior lineman at Texas.
