[edit] High School Years
Studdard attended Highlands Ranch High School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, where he won four varsity letters in football, basketball, and track and field. In football, he was a four-year starter as an offensive and defensive lineman. He was a two-time All-District selection, a two-time All-County selection, and a two-time first team All-State selection.
As a sophomore, he was an All-League selection, and posted 75 tackles, four sacks, two fumble recoveries, and two blocked kicks. Studdard graduated from Highlands Ranch High School in 2002. Capping his high school career, he played in the 2002 U.S. Army All-American Bowl alongside future fellow Texas Longhorns Justin Blalock and Rodrique Wright.
[edit] College career
Studdard redshirted his freshman year at Texas and saw limited action. As a redshirt sophomore, Studdard was the starter for a Longhorn team that was second in the nation in rushing and went on to win its first Bowl Championship Series game, against Michigan at the 2005 Rose Bowl. The following year, Studdard helped anchor the offensive line, the same year that Texas led the nation in scoring offense.[1] The Longhorns once again had the second-best (in terms of yardage and only when accounting for QB scramble yards) rushing attack in the nation and went on to win the national championship against USC at the Rose Bowl. Studdard garnered second team All Big 12 honors for his performance. In his final year at Texas, he started all 13 games and was voted team captain by his teammates. The team went 10-3, with a win against Iowa in the 2006 Alamo Bowl, the third straight bowl win for Texas. After the season ended, Studdard was named to the first team All Big 12 by the league coaches and media.[1]
[edit] NFL career
Studdard was drafted by the Houston Texans in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft (183rd overal).[2] He signed a four-year contract with the team on July 20, 2007.[3] In 2009 Studdard replaced the injured Chester Pitts, and went on to start all 14 remaining games.
