Early life

Following a red shirt year in 2007, Slowey made his first start for the Wolves against Portland State University on August 30, 2008.[4] He appeared in nine games during the 2008 season, helping the Wolves to a 7–4 record and second place finish in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC).[5][6]
In 2009, Slowey started all 10 games at tackle, and was recognized as second team All-GNAC offensive lineman.[5] The Wolves finished second in the GNAC standings with a 5–5 record.[7]
The 2010 season was highlighted by a six-game win streak and two defensive shut-outs. The Wolves finished 8–3 after losing to Central Washington University in the GNAC Championship Game on November 13, 2010.[5][7] Slowey started all 11 games at tackle, and was recognized as first team All-GNAC, and Honorable Mention All-American.

Professional career
[edit | edit source]Pre-draft
[edit | edit source]Slowey drew little attention heading into the 2012 NFL draft until Western Oregon's pro day on March 16, 2012.[9] After a solid performance media began to take notice.[10] Sport's Illustrated's Tony Pauline tabbed Slowey as "one of the nastiest blockers in the draft".[11] Although he was a left tackle in college, he was projected to move inside to center in the NFL.[12][10][13]
